Plummeting Sheets of Ice Damage Cars in Texas

In the aftermath of a bitter ice storm, rising temperatures in North Texas have had a dangerous side effect.

This YouTube clip from Nicole Jaime shows ice falling from the roof of a Plano, Texas apartment complex, damaging parked cars below. Fortunately, the sidewalks were empty when the 2-inch wide chunks fell, and cars were the only causalities.

Jaime's video isn't the only one to show this damaging side effect in action. The clip below from YouTube user juhi2445 captures ice falling from a different apartment complex in the same Dallas suburb, plummeting to the ground and covering parked cars.

The Plano Texas Police Department is warning residents to be cautious while walking near tall buildings and parking their cars.

But some Dallas residents -- hopefully in areas where falling ice is less of a threat -- are making the most of these conditions, heading out into the cold for some winter fun.
