Texas Sealife Center was caring for almsot a thousand of the marine creatures after the storm brought record cold temperatures to the Lone Star State. Several record lows were broken in Corpus Christi over the week-long storm, where the Texas Sealife Center is based.

Around 200 turtles were released on February 22, Jamie McWilliams from the Sealife Center told Storyful.
