Tropical Storm Alberto, the first storm of the 2024 hurricane season, is causing significant flooding in Southern Texas, especially in the Corpus Christi area. The hurricane season, which began on June 1 and continues through November 30, has already seen severe impacts. In response, the Governor of Texas has declared a severe weather disaster due to the extensive flooding. Storm surges have reached heights of over 4 feet, with an expected rainfall total of 5 to 10 inches. Active flood warnings are currently in place, leading to potential widespread flooding and posing risks to property and safety. Residents are urged to follow local advisories and take necessary precautions.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our Disaster Relief Services (DRS) team is actively engaged, closely monitoring the situation, and coordinating with the Texas Gulf Coast VOAD to provide timely support and assistance.
