Stormy Weather: Holiday Travel Woes in Texas and Louisiana
Southern USA, Dallas, Houston,Sat Dec 28 2024
Hey there! Are you planning to travel this holiday season? Well, keep an eye on the weather, because some serious thunderstorms are causing trouble in Texas and Louisiana. These storms are rolling in from the Gulf of Mexico and bringing along some strong winds, hail, and maybe even tornadoes. Yikes!
The National Weather Service has been keeping a close watch. They've even issued some warnings, like a tornado warning for parts of northeast Texas. Thankfully, no major damage has been reported yet.
The storms have already messed up some travel plans. Over 100 flights were delayed, and many more were canceled at airports like Dallas Fort Worth International and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Ouch!
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken this seriously and activated the state's emergency response resources. He's encouraging everyone to stay safe and listen to local officials.
Meteorologists are predicting the worst weather to hit the area between Houston and southern Arkansas, with a chance of tornadoes, high winds, and hail. They're especially worried about travelers at night because it's hard to see and people might not be as careful.
So, if you're hitting the road or skies this holiday, make sure to keep an eye on the weather. Stay safe out there!
