On Thursday, June 20th, Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the hurricane season, made landfall on Mexico’s Gulf Coast and continued to wreak havoc in Texas. Forming over the western Gulf of Mexico, Alberto brought maximum sustained winds of 50 mph and extended tropical-storm-force winds up to 460 miles.

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas issued a disaster declaration for 51 counties, ensuring that resources and personnel were ready for rapid deployment. The National Hurricane Center warned of heavy rainfall, predicting up to 20 inches in parts of Mexico and 10-15 inches in Texas, particularly around Corpus Christi. The storm has already led to moderate coastal flooding across the Texas Gulf Coast, with a storm surge of 2 to 4 feet reported.

In Mexico, Alberto’s impact has been deadly, with reports confirming 14 fatalities. The storm’s approach led local authorities to urge residents to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. Despite efforts to secure homes and move vehicles to higher ground, the severe weather caused significant damage and disruption.

As the storm moved inland, it began to weaken but continued to pose a threat due to heavy rains and potential flooding. The National Weather Service issued warnings about possible tornadoes in deep South Texas, further complicating the situation. Emergency response teams, including the Texas A&M Forest Service and the Texas National Guard, were mobilized to assist affected communities.

Adding to the challenges, a heatwave impacting over 82 million people was expected to persist, exacerbating the difficulties for those already dealing with the storm’s aftermath. The National Weather Service continued to monitor Alberto, providing crucial updates to ensure public safety and preparedness.

Residents in the affected areas were advised to prepare for prolonged power outages and have enough supplies to last several days. The dual impact of the tropical storm and the ongoing heatwave underscored the need for robust disaster preparedness and coordinated response efforts.
