Severe Storms Preparedness in Texas: How Can Residents Stay Safe This Late Week?
According to recent forecasts, severe thunderstorms can continue in the Southeast this weekend, particularly in Texas. People with travel plans should be extra careful with the weather due to possible thunderstorms and hail. Limiting any unimportant plans is advisable to avoid being stranded on main roads.
