TEXAS — There was quite a bit of rain in the early morning hours of Monday, causing some issues in Central and South Texas. Cities from Houston to Waco and McAllen felt the impacts from the weather.
Preparations for rain were underway in the Rio Grande Valley on Monday. City of McAllen officials distributed sandbags to homeowners throughout the day. City Manager Isaac Tawil encouraged residents to look out for one another.
“The lines there are very, very short, so anybody feeling like they need a little extra protection for their house is more than welcome to go out there and fill some sandbags for the elderly or persons who may need assistance,” Tawil said.
The city also had crews clearing roads, engineers checking drain ditches and high water rescue vehicles ready to be deployed if needed.
“We’re taking reasonable precautions to make sure all of our systems are performing at the highest level,” Tawil said.
Further northeast, Houston’s emergency management crews were also busy. FIFA Fan Festival events in Houston on Monday were canceled, and the hours of the festival on Tuesday were shortened starting at 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. According to a post on X, the festival hours could still be subject to change if the “weather conditions are unfavorable to a safe environment for attendees.”
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo released a statement, saying in part: “For both visitors and locals alike, please avoid driving into high water and check the Transtar road conditions map before you head out.”
Gov. Greg Abbott also activated additional state resources to prepare for major emergencies as heavy rain blankets the state. Abbott issued a disaster declaration for 101 counties in the state for the severe weather.
