Texas Deploys Emergency Resources as Severe Storms Loom

Gov. Greg Abbott activated state emergency resources as a large storm system threatens most of Texas through Monday with 75 mph winds, large hail, and possible tornadoes, plus heavy rainfall that could trigger flash flooding (3–6 inches widely, isolated totals up to 10 inches). State assets—including swiftwater boats, urban search-and-rescue teams, helicopters, debris-clearing crews, and utility monitors—have been mobilized to aid local officials, with residents urged to monitor forecasts and avoid flooded roads as the system shifts toward the South and Southeast Texas coasts.
