On the night of Feb. 15, the Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management announced several warming stations in the county. Freezing temperatures were expected in the Houston area every night until Feb. 19, according to the National Weather Service. The city of Shenandoah also opened its council chambers the night of Feb. 15 as a warming center.The widespread power outages also have caused traffic signal outages at many intersections. Treat these intersections as all-way stops, just like with flashing reds or stop signs; but again, residents are urged to stay off the roads during these conditions. 3 of 3
