NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Forty-plus degrees feels good, but the thaw hasn t ended the problems faced by cities across the South still reeling from a frozen week.
Water mains are still breaking regularly as temperatures rise, causing the water pressure to disappear. Maintenance crews are bracing for ice-melt flooding.
Airlines canceled flights. Hospitals struggled to stay sanitary. Schools without safe water told teachers not to come. Water treatment plants couldn t receive chemicals because the roads were too icy for the trucks to get through.
