With the prospect of a tropical storm causing extensive rainfall along the Texas Gulf Coast, The Salvation Army Texas Division is preparing to respond to the affected areas, supporting first responders and affected families with food, hydration and needed supplies.
Tropical storm warnings have been issued for parts of the Texas and Mexico coasts ahead of the disturbance, which is likely to become a tropical storm before tracking into Mexico. The storm is likely to impact the southeast part of the Lone Star state. Flooding rain, coastal flooding, rip currents and high surf will affect much of the western Gulf coast, from Texas to Mexico, with southeast Texas expected to get as much as a foot of rain.
The Salvation Army has sent a liaison to Austin to monitor the situation closely. The major concern is flash flooding in an area extending from Brownsville up to Victoria. Units have been placed on standby as a clearer picture of the situation develops.
