With immigration crackdown efforts ramping up, some countries under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) have also been revoked, causing residents to have to return home despite unsafe conditions like ongoing conflict or environmental disasters.

A Houston resident voiced concerns to property managers about the lack of hot water in his apartment and was given an eviction notice "due to this ongoing issue with the temperature of the hot water not satisfying you."

Yes. It's hot. But how hot is it? And what does it mean when our meteorologists tell us we're under a heat warning, watch, or advisory?

As students and teachers embark on the journey that is the 2024-2025 school year, many schools will be working to improve their accountability ratings and those already on a strong slope, will aim to keep their momentum.

You may have heard of the term “squatter” recently, seen the word in headlines, or seen a video of authorities or a property owner removing them from their property, or at least trying to.

Hours before President Joe Biden was set to roll out an executive order aiming to cap asylum requests, KPRC 2 spoke with immigration attorneys to get a legal understanding of what this could mean for an overwhelmed border during an already tense election year.

“Rushing water is an indiscriminate killer. It will take whatever it wants with it, it will take your life if it can,” says one expert.

It takes a lot more than warm ocean waters to create a hurricane

In the aftermath of a major storm, you may discover downed power lines.

With hurricane season approaching, KPRC 2 Hurricane Headquarters is here to help Houstonians power through the storms by providing our audience with everything they need to know, starting with terminology. Here’s what to know about thunderstorms:Severe Thunderstorm Watch: An announcement issued when severe thunderstorms are possible in and near the watch area. It does not mean that they will occur. Severe Thunderstorm Warning: A warning issued when severe thunderstorms are occurring or imminent in the warning area. More weather terms to know:

[RELATED: Tropical disturbance could get hurricane season off to an early start]Unsure if it’s a storm or disturbance, or don’t understand the difference either way? Here’s how it breaks down:A tropical cyclone with sustained surface winds from 39 mph (63 km/hr) to 73 mph (118 km/hr) is categorized as a tropical storm. In September 2019, Tropical Storm Imelda caused major flooding throughout Houston, pouring more than two feet of water over some areas. Finally, a tropical disturbance is defined as a discrete tropical weather system of apparently organized thunderstorms. A tropical disturbance also is not associated with a front and maintains its identity for 24 hours or more.

Here are Hurricane categories and wind scales explained:Category 1 Hurricane: Winds 74-95 mphNo real damage to building structures. Category 2 Hurricane: Winds 96-110 mphSome roofing material, door and window damage of buildings. Category 3 Hurricane: Winds 111-129 mphSome structural damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to shrubbery and trees, with foliage blown off trees and large trees blown down. Category 4 Hurricane: Winds 130-156 mphMore extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences.

As hurricane season approaches, here’s what to know about tide levels and how they change during storms. Typically, a location will observe two high tides and two low tides within a day. Normal tide (KPRC)A storm surge is an abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm, caused by wind blowing seawater onshore. Storm surge is usually estimated by subtracting the normal or astronomic high tide from the observed storm tide. Lastly, a storm tide is the actual level of seawater resulting from the astronomic tide combined with the storm surge.

As we've seen this week, floods can quickly turn dangerous and deadly, especially for people who get stranded in high water. So what do you do if you're faced with this situation? KPRC 2’s Bill Spencer has the tips that could save your life.
