Texas Braces for Severe Weather with State of Emergency Activation.
Emergency managers in Central Texas are monitoring for severe thunderstorms this weekend that could bring hail, heavy winds, and potential floods. The National Weather Service may issue a tornado watch for the area. Residents are advised to put together a bag of emergency supplies, charge their cell phones, and seek shelter in an interior room on the lowest level of their home. Enrolling in localized alerts sent to cell phones is also recommended.
