2024 Hurricane Season

While conditions have improved after the storm hit in September, but some veterans remain without electricity and cut off by damaged roads.

The National Weather Service reported a cold front will start pushing into South Texas on Friday afternoon. Temperatures will not be impacted very much, but the cold front will trigger showers for San Antonio on its approach and as it passes through.

Matthew Clark of San Antonio is logistics chief for the non-profit Ground Force Humanitarian Aid. He’s currently in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, near the hardest hit area of the floods.

When storms like Helene and Milton sever traditional wireless and web networks, these operators can step in to provide weather updates and damage assessments, connect people with worried loved ones far away, and even relay emails.

High winds from Hurricane Milton tore off the fiberglass roof of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, home of the Tampa Bay Rays.

South Texas Blood & Tissue Center encourages South Texans to donate blood as it sends supplies to storm-ravaged communities.

Many of Helene’s effects are individual and heartbreaking, such as the deaths of children, grandparents and others. But the storm's impact is also so outsized that it’s clearly visible from space.

A coastal flood warning remains in effect for much of the Texas coast, from near Corpus Christi, and stretching far to the northeast, until 1 p.m. Thursday. Storm surge is expected to inundate public beach areas.

The prime threats from Tropical Storm Francine on coastal Texas now are mainly gusty winds, beach flooding and rip currents through Thursday afternoon.

It was expected to move northward toward the U.S.-Mexico border and possibly Deep South Texas. Forecasters predict the system will form into a tropical depression by Wednesday.
