 Bernie Bennett reporting. Also at townhall.com, at a news conference, Texas Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd says floodwaters have yet to recede in parts of Texas that were drenched by Hurricane Barrel. Water that we received in the northern part of our state will continue to come down as it tries to work its way to the Gulf. So even though you may have somewhat blue skies and no chance of rain, if there are barricades over a road, please do not remove them and please do not drive around them.
