Severe Weather Pummels Large Swaths of US
Millions of Americans are enduring dangerous conditions amid wildfires and a heat wave that’s sweltering across 16 states from the Midwest to the Northeast. Meanwhile, Texas is facing recovery after Tropical Storm Alberto – the first named storm of the hurricane season – swept through the Lone Star State.
Alberto, now a tropical depression, first made landfall in Mexico, leading to the deaths of at least four people there. The storm dumped heavy rain and caused flash flooding along the Gulf Coast from Mexico to Louisiana. Storm surge brought floods to the village of Surfside Beach on a barrier island in Texas, leaving behind damaged roads and lots of debris, with streets in Galveston underwater. Corpus Christi endured a four-foot storm surge.
South Padre Island Fire Chief Jim Pigg said, “The water is up to the dunes right now, so it’s definitely not safe to be out on the beaches currently.” It’s the earliest sign of what government forecasters predict will be an above-average hurricane season.
While parts of the Gulf Coast are saturated, more than 70 million people across the U.S. are under heat alerts on the first official day of summer as hot, dry conditions are helping to fuel wildfires in the West. Approximately 17 large fires continue to burn from California to New Mexico. The South Lake and Salt Fires in New Mexico have destroyed more than 1,400 structures. Evacuation orders are in effect.
