Lower Coast appears to escaped freeze with minimal fish loss
Although I'm still waiting for 'official' word, from my observations and that of several fishermen and guides I've spoken with over the past few days, it would appear the Lower Coast weathered this latest freeze event fairly well. One guide reported seeing a handful of dead fat snook. Several people noticed schools of mangrove snapper swimming slowly near the surface on Sunday. But, by and large, no one has seen any sign of a major fish kill. That said, it's always possible there is an area of dead fish that has gone unnoticed either because the fish are on the bottom or in an area that hasn't been frequented by fishermen since the freeze. But, at least at this point, it looks like anglers can breathe a tentative sigh of relief.
On the other hand, my San Antonio house was not so lucky. Even with precautions, the water pipes in the attic had multiple freeze related leaks. By the time it was discovered, the ceiling had fallen in and the cleanup crew worked all day today to begin the recovery process.
This reminds me of the way all the Kontiki remodels began. An undiscovered upstairs water leak in condo 207 produced results just like this. Rob did a complete remodel to repair the damage and when it turned out so well, all the other remodels followed.
