Texas Faces Weather Whiplash: Droughts, Floods, Heatwaves

Texas is going through a "weather whiplash," swinging from droughts to flash floods and facing more heat waves. These extreme weather patterns are linked to climate change, with rising temperatures making storms more intense and fast. Experts like John Nielsen-Gammon are calling for better infrastructure to handle these changes and protect public health, especially with power grids getting stressed and vulnerable people at risk. What does it mean for you? If you're in Texas, it's time to think about how you can prepare for extreme weather. This might mean having a plan for both water shortages and floods, and knowing where your nearest cooling centers are when those triple-digit heat days hit.
