00:29 our tropical storm and th

00:31 to say that mischief and

00:33 today. That is our top sto

00:36 Heavy rainfall from Harol

00:39 south texas, including ci

00:41 and Corpus Christi, even

00:43 well. This could produce

00:46 and a tropical storm morn

00:48 for the mouth of the regi

00:51 keep a close eye on this

00:54 that from here in the stu

00:56 in storm chaser Mike Scant

00:59 Harold right now in south

01:02 morning. Thanks for joini

01:06 having me. Good morning.

01:09 you what you're seeing so

01:11 like in south texas as th

01:13 Well, it's significantly

01:18 here yesterday. Very muggy

01:21 of bands come through. Yo

01:23 some some standing water

01:25 traffic moving just fine.

01:28 on north Padre Island. We

01:31 where the water was alread

01:33 Padre drive here, the main

01:35 the island. So and that's

01:38 just getting started. So

01:40 storms comes through and

01:42 amount of rain in a very

01:44 and you've already got so

01:46 here in Corpus though, th

01:49 got skirted by a couple o

01:51 moving just fine. But jus

01:53 to hear is a whole differ

01:55 soon as I'm done here, I'

01:57 looking for flooding and

01:59 spinning up off the ocean

02:02 I was going to say, even

02:05 you have that right inflo

02:06 been tracking Mike. Is th

02:08 going to target today? An

02:11 I assume you're concerned

02:13 than the isolated tornado

02:15 a threat of that. Absolute

02:20 and keep my my eyes on bo

02:23 a lot of, there aren't ma

02:26 here between here and sou

02:28 real marshy area. So my r

02:30 of limited to the south.

02:32 into the core and until i

02:35 So I'm gonna try and hedg

02:38 both and kind of just do

02:41 allow me to do. But flood

02:43 an issue and I'll be keep

02:45 supercells as they come a

02:47 seen a lot of information

02:49 texas D. O. T. Or the gov

02:52 staying off the roads tod

02:54 messaging like that? All

02:59 big sign that says storm

03:02 and um watch for water on

03:06 seen any specific, uh, om

03:09 not to go anywhere. You k

03:12 agree with that. It doesn

03:14 these low lying areas to

03:17 I mean, I mean these coas

03:19 one or two quick bursts o

03:22 got low lying areas cover

03:24 covered. So it doesn't ta

03:26 I have not seen anything

03:29 yet. No, I think the moral
