State Emergency Management director William Turner agrees it is going to be a very dangerous storm. We're looking at a multi hazard event. We're not only talking heavy wet snow, but also the potential for coastal flooding and very high winds. It's been many years since the entire state was under a blizzard warning like we're under now. State officials are asking residents to stay off the roads. Commercial travel has been banned. They also say to prepare for widespread power outages that could last for days.

And you're listening to NPR News from Washington. An artifact from the Battle of the Alamo is being restored. Texas Public Radio's Jerry Clayton has more from San Antonio.

The cannon was originally discovered in 1852 near the site of the Alamo. The owner, Samuel Maverick, was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Colby Lanham is senior researcher and historian for the Alamo. I was kind of skeptical, if I'm being honest. The man offering to donate the artifact was a direct descendant of Maverick. Yeah, I about, I about fell over. I think he could have knocked me over with a feather. I was so excited. And I had wrote about that cannon in my master's thesis. The cannon was located on a ranch near Corpus Christi and was previously at another ranch near San Antonio where it was used as the base of a bird bath. The three foot long 90 pound cannon is being restored at Texas A and M University. I'm Jerry Clayton in San Antonio.
