The February 2021 Texas Ice Storm — How DFW Was Brought to a Standstill

In February 2021, the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex experienced one of the most severe winter storms in its history. Freezing rain, sleet, and sustained subfreezing temperatures turned roads into sheets of ice, collapsed infrastructure, and triggered widespread power outages across North Texas. This video revisits what unfolded across the region, from the deadly 133-vehicle pileup on I-35W in Fort Worth to days-long electrical failures, frozen water systems, and neighborhoods left without heat in dangerous conditions. It explains how the storm overwhelmed systems not designed for prolonged cold and how the power grid crisis deepened the emergency for millions of residents. More than a single accident, this was a regional crisis that exposed vulnerabilities in infrastructure, emergency preparedness, and weather resilience. This is the full story of what the DFW Metroplex endured during the February 2021 winter storm and why its lessons still matter today.
