Houston and Harris County officials assure us that as cold as it gets, it won't be another Uri.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner held a late afternoon press conference Tuesday to say that they are working together to prepare for the upcoming bad spate of weather expected to start Thursday night, with assurances this will not be as severe as the freeze of February 2021.
She said they were calling this a hard freeze and not a winter storm"because they will be limited to cold weather and some wind." The forecast shows no snow, the forecast shows no icy roads. We essentially have three nights and mornings that will be extremely cold.
The county is coordinating with the city and the sheriff's department to try to get the homeless into shelters during the coldest weather, she said.
