The Texas Department of Transportation is hoping to elevate portions of I-10′s main lanes between Heights Boulevard and I-45, which officials say was impassable during Hurricane Harvey and Tropical Storm Imelda.

Processing will continue, but time is running out to submit draft applications to the GLO for eligibility consideration and assistance with missing documentation.

Families from northeast Houston are set to protest in front of Houston City Hall Tuesday, raising concerns regarding the drainage systems in their areas.

In recent years, the city Houston has garnered the unofficial title of disaster capital of the United States.

I was convinced that Tropical Storm Imelda’s wrath over Texas in 2019 was certainly enough to have that name retired. To my knowledge, Imelda was not placed into consideration by the entire WMO hurricane committee for retirement. The same is true for Isaias, Sally and Delta. AdI asked Dennis what happens if we go to the alternate list and only get to, say, the name starting with C: would we pick up the next time we need the alternate list with D, or get a whole new list every year? Get ready for alternate lists--my prediction is for another busy hurricane season.

KINGWOOD, Texas – In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Imelda, a Kingwood couple were inspired to help their community. “We started giving out supplies in my driveway the morning after, and it just took off from there,” said Richard Abram. He and his wife, Dawn, started a group called Kingwood Kindness aimed at collecting and distributing donations for those in need. “We had such a good response from the Kingwood community and surrounding areas,” Abram said. “My motto is, ‘If anything that I have can help you, then it’s yours for the taking.’”AdLike other charities, Kingwood Kindness has been hit hard by the pandemic.

HOUSTON – As Tropical Storm Beta neared the Texas coast Monday, the biggest unknown was how much rainfall it could produce in areas that have already seen their share of damaging weather during a busy hurricane season. Rain from Beta was already coming down Monday in the Houston area. Earlier predictions of up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) in some areas were downgraded Monday to up to 15 inches (38 centimeters). Forecasters and officials reassured residents Beta was not expected to be another Hurricane Harvey or Tropical Storm Imelda. Harvey in 2017 dumped more than 50 inches (127 centimeters) of rain on Houston, causing $125 billion in damage in Texas.

Forecasters said Beta was not expected to bring the same amount of rainfall that Texas experienced during either Hurricane Harvey in 2017 or Tropical Storm Imelda last year. The first rain bands from Beta reached the Texas coast on Sunday, but the heaviest rain wasn't expected to arrive until Monday into Tuesday. If the system makes landfall in Texas, it would be the ninth named storm to make landfall in the continental U.S. in 2020. A tropical storm warning was in effect for Bermuda. Wilfred, which had been a tropical storm, weakened to a tropical depression earlier Sunday.

[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.
