TEXAS, PAY ATTENTION.
A major multi-day rain event is expected to move into Texas beginning Wednesday, September 30, with the heaviest and most widespread rainfall expected Thursday and Friday.
Widespread totals could reach 2 to 5 inches, with some areas seeing 6 inches or more.
That means flash flooding. Flooded roads. Rising creeks and rivers.
And conditions that can go bad fast.
Get squared away before the heavy rain gets here.
Have supplies. Know your route and your backup plan.
Keep an eye on local alerts. Don’t drive into flooded roads.
If officials tell you to move, move.
Because while most Texans will rightly be trying to stay dry and safe, thousands of others will be clocking in.
Law enforcement officers. Firefighters. Emergency medical personnel. Dispatchers. Search-and-rescue crews. Swift-water rescue teams. First responders across this state.
They’ll spend the storm going wherever somebody needs help.
Keep that in mind when you’re tucked into bed listening to the rain hit the roof.
Somebody will be standing in it.
Somebody will be driving through it.
Somebody will be launching a rescue boat into it.
Make their job a little easier by preparing now and not taking chances later.
Stay safe, Texas. Look after your people.
And remember the men and women looking after all of us.
