The flooding across Central Texas on the Fourth of July and into the weekend following is heart-wrenching and devastating.

As severe weather continues in our state and as Texans look to rebuild and recover, I urge everyone to pay attention to weather reports and the cautionary messages of local and state officials.

Visit the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) site here for statewide updates & local resources on the flooding.
