Yet still not a drop in Dallas

All is good! Cruz and Abbot have plenty of thoughts and prayers for the people of TX.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Tropical Storm Harold made landfall on the south-east coast of Texas on Tuesday, bringing more heavy rain and high winds to the southern US.

Tropical Storm Harold made landfall on Tuesday morning local time on Texas’ Padre Island in the Gulf of Mexico.

Tropical storm warnings had been issued from the Rio Grande river - along the state’s southern boundary - to roughly 250 miles (400km) north, to the community of Port O’Connor.

The storm was expected to continue to carry rain, wind and hail farther inland as it tracks westward across the hot and dry Texas landscape.

As Texans endure the deluge, weather officials have warned of yet another tropical storm - Franklin - currently some 230 miles east off the coast of the Dominican Republican.

The impact of climate change on the frequency of storms is still unclear, but we know that increased sea surface temperatures warm the air above and make more energy available to drive hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons.
