Good morning, McAllen.

Heavy rains caused flooding at Rio Grande Valley airports last Thursday—Valley International Airport closed until further notice while Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport reported no cancellations and McAllen International Airport has not yet reported its status.

Residents in Las Milpas have faced severe flooding that left some stranded overnight and scared local drivers on Thursday night—concerns shared by resident Jacob Ramirez—who said the repeated floods point to long-standing infrastructure problems.

City officials have not responded as the public is urged to avoid flooded roads and report storm damage online.

A severe thunderstorm swept the Valley on March 27 and caused widespread flooding, power outages for over 12,000 customers and a brief tornado touchdown near Highway 107 in Edcouch that damaged structures—flood warnings remained for southern Hidalgo, Willacy and Cameron counties as the storm moved offshore early Friday.

Mission Mayor Norie Gonzalez Garza said that recent upgrades to the city's drainage systems helped reduce flood damage during a storm—she thanked the Public Works team, Public Safety personnel, and Hidalgo County Commissioner PCT 3 Everardo Villarreal—adding that the improvements protected homes, businesses, and roads.

Local leaders including mayors from the Mid-Valley and the County Commissioner for Precinct 1 met Friday at 2 p.m. at Weslaco City Hall — 255 S.

Kansas Avenue to develop plans that reduce the impact of severe weather on residents and infrastructure.

Residents in the valley who experienced storm damage on Thursday are asked to complete the iSTAT Damage Survey online so that state and local emergency management can assess the damage from the recent storm.

The survey is voluntary — it does not substitute for reporting damage to insurance agencies nor guarantee disaster relief assistance.
