Service has always been part of my family's DNA. As a 4th generation service member & combat veteran I've witnessed the dedication, selflessness & courage of those willing to serve something greater than themselves. We are blessed to live in a nation defended by such men & women.

Texas, stay weather-aware today: heavy rain could bring flash flooding across the state. A Flood Watch means flooding is possible. A Flood Warning means flooding is expected or already happening. Check local alerts and avoid flooded roads: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
Heavy to excessive rainfall is possible over southern Texas today. A slight risk (level 2 of 4) for excessive rainfall has been issued for today along the coastal region of south Texas. NEVER drive through floodwaters. You never really know what's lurking under murky floodwaters. weather.gov

Flooding can happen quickly. It’s important to know your risk & understand the difference between flood watches, warnings & advisories. Stay informed, sign up for local alerts & be ready to take action when flooding threatens your area. 🔗 ready.gov/floods
Training showers and thunderstorms ahead of a quasi-stationary front will bring a Marginal Risk of flash flooding from the Carolinas northward to the Mid-Atlantic, while a Slight Risk (level 2/4) is in effect across coastal New England where 2-3 inches of rain may accumulate.
