#FlashFlood Emergency Is Issued in #Texas After Days of Pounding Rain
Roads were turning to rivers on Wednesday as emergency officials in towns around #SanAntonio raced to rescue people who had been stranded.
A tornado was spotted in San Antonio, and #Uvalde and Harris counties experienced flooding as heavy rain fell on Tuesday and Wednesday
By Judson Jones and Christine Hauser
July 15, 2026"Another day of pounding rain across Texas has led to flash flood warnings, perilous river levels and a scramble of evacuations as emergency responders rushed to rescue people from quickly rising waters.
"In the city of #UvaldeTX, the seat of Uvalde County, Commissioner Roy Coachman said that as of 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday there were 25 rescues throughout the county as river levels continue to rise.
" 'First responders are actively rescuing in the northern part of Uvalde County,' he told a news conference.
"The Uvalde Police Department said a dam in the northern part of the county was still intact, but the river gauge upstream of the #LeonaRiver, above Uvalde, is registering a 20-foot wall of water. 'It is expected to rise another 15 feet,' the police said.
" 'If you live along the Leona River, we ask that you get to higher ground,' the police said.
"In #BoerneTX, north of San Antonio, the National Weather Service declared a flood emergency on Wednesday and said up to 12 inches of rain had fallen in the Hill Country city, with more on the way.
"Chris Shadrock, Boerne’s communications director, said water had enveloped the city’s Main Street. High water rescues were taking place in the city, which has a population of 12,314.
" 'This is a life threatening weather event,' he said on the city’s social media page. 'We are seeing flood conditions that we have not seen since 2015.'
"The American Red Cross said on Wednesday that there had been dozens of water rescues in southern parts of Texas, where heavy rain had already inundated populated areas with up to 16 inches of rain. The precipitation was expected to last through Friday,
"The #Pecos, #RioGrande, #Nueces, #Frio, #Medina and San Antonio rivers could all flood, it said. The areas at greatest risk include all or parts of Medina, Frio, Uvalde, Kinney, #Maverick, #Zavala, #ValVerde, Edwards, Real and #Bandera counties, it said."

Sismo de 6.6 sacude el Pacífico Sur frente a Chile
El terremoto quedó registrado oficialmente como uno de los movimientos sísmicos relevantes de mayo de 2026 en el Pacífico Sur.
Por Gabriela Díaz | Reportera
Un terremoto de magnitud 6.6 se registró en la región sur de la dorsal del Pacífico Oriental, frente a las costas de Chile y Argentina, de acuerdo con el reporte preliminar emitido por el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos. El movimiento telúrico ocurrió el 20 de mayo de 2026 a las 17:43 horas, tiempo universal coordinado (UTC) (11:46 horas, tiempo del centro de México). La información oficial indicó que el epicentro se localizó en una zona oceánica alejada de áreas urbanas.
El informe técnico precisó que el sismo ocurrió a una profundidad de 10 kilómetros, considerada superficial por organismos especializados en monitoreo sísmico. Las coordenadas del epicentro quedaron establecidas en 56.030 grados de latitud sur y 122.260 grados de longitud oeste. El evento se percibió en una extensa región marítima del Pacífico Sur sin reportes inmediatos de daños.
Las ciudades más cercanas al epicentro correspondieron a localidades del extremo sur del continente americano. Entre ellas figuraron Puerto Natales y Punta Arenas, en Chile, además de Ushuaia, Río Grande y Río Gallegos, en Argentina. Todas las referencias geográficas se ubicaron a más de 3 mil kilómetros del punto exacto del terremoto.
Epicentro en el océano
El reporte preliminar estableció que la distancia más cercana a estaciones de monitoreo sísmico superó los 3 mil kilómetros. Los especialistas contabilizaron 160 lecturas sísmicas para determinar la magnitud y ubicación del fenómeno natural. El error cuadrático medio del análisis quedó calculado en 0.87 segundos.
Las autoridades científicas señalaron que el máximo gap azimutal alcanzó 62 grados durante la evaluación técnica del evento sísmico. El margen de error horizontal se estimó en 10.6 kilómetros y el vertical en 1.9 kilómetros. Los parámetros fueron integrados al informe preliminar difundido tras el movimiento telúrico.
Hasta el momento, autoridades de Chile y Argentina no reportaron víctimas, daños materiales ni afectaciones mayores derivadas del terremoto. Tampoco se emitieron alertas de tsunami tras el registro sísmico en el Pacífico Sur. Organismos de protección civil mantuvieron seguimiento al comportamiento tectónico de la región. –sn–

Forgotten Keepers of the #RioGrandeDelta
An industrial buildout on the southern tip of Texas is erasing the last traces of an ancient world that still hasn’t died.
by Dylan Baddour
May 13, 2024"This society has been trying to get rid of #Mancias’ people for 500 years. It couldn’t kill them all, so it’s destroying the evidence that they ever existed. That’s what Mancias sees as 100-ton bulldozers flatten the hills his #ancestors camped on, churn up their bones, and casually crush them into rubble, removing these last traces of their world.
" 'They almost annihilated us, and that #genocide continues,' Mancias said. 'To destroy the #environment you have to destroy the people who protect it.'
"He faces a formidable foe here at the last frontier for oil and gas on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Every other major inlet from the Mississippi River west through Port Arthur, Houston, Freeport, Lavaca Bay, and Corpus Christi is already ringed with #refineries, #ChemicalPlants, and terminals.
"But at the farthest tip of #Texas, the #RioGrande meets the Gulf between #WildlifeRefuges, a #StatePark, and a majestic #wilderness that still shelters endangered and little-known #wildlife.
"This is where Houston-based developer #NextDecade has begun constructing an $18 billion #MegaProject, which it called the 'largest greenfield energy project [financed] in U.S. history' when it announced in 2023 that it had secured investors to proceed.
"Named #RioGrandeLNG, the 750-acre facility will eventually pipe in up to 27 million tons per year of gas from #fracked wells in the #PermianBasin, supercool it to negative 260 degrees fahrenheit, and load it onto #TankerShips for sale overseas as liquefied natural gas (#LNG). It’s part of an explosion of lookalike projects that quickly made the United States the world’s top exporter of liquefied gas and drove soaring gas production at home.
"On an adjacent tract, another project called Texas LNG intends to build atop a site called #GarciaPasture—an ancient village ground where people lived seasonally for almost 800 years. The World Monument Fund calls it 'one of America’s premier #archaeological sites.' That project has its permits and awaits investor commitments before breaking ground.
"And about 5 miles away, #SpaceX continues to expand its #Starbase complex, where it manufactures and launches the most powerful #rockets in the world (which occasionally explode and fall to earth).
"Mancias fears this is just the beginning.
" 'All of this will be gone,' he said, driving his pickup truck down a highway through the marshes. 'They’re going to destroy all of this.' "

Forgotten Keepers of the #RioGrandeDelta
An industrial buildout on the southern tip of Texas is erasing the last traces of an ancient world that still hasn’t died.
by Dylan Baddour
May 13, 2024"This society has been trying to get rid of #Mancias’ people for 500 years. It couldn’t kill them all, so it’s destroying the evidence that they ever existed. That’s what Mancias sees as 100-ton bulldozers flatten the hills his #ancestors camped on, churn up their bones, and casually crush them into rubble, removing these last traces of their world.

"Desert Landscape with Rainfall"
This is the high desert of Northern New Mexico. This scene is within the Wild Rivers Recreation national lands, now known as the Rio Grande Del Norte National Monument, north of Questa. The two levels of landscape are cut by the Rio Grande deep in the gorge.https://debra-martz.pixels.com/featured/desert-landscape-with-rainfall-debra-martz.html

This is how #waterwars start. It's going to be really bad.
For anyone who doesn't know, the #Gunnison, #SanMiguel, #SanJuan, #Yampa, and #White #rivers are all tributaries of the #Colorado. So the entire #Southwest is in *deep* trouble. The #RioGrande and #Arkansas are equally important: much of #NewMexico and southern #Texas depend on the former; and #Kansas, #Oklahoma, and of course Arkansas itself on the latter.
As rough as it will be in Colorado, downstream it will be worse. We have the #headwaters for all the major rivers across about a quarter of the country ... and our water-sharing agreements were written during an unusually wet period. The fighting will begin in the courts, but I'm not at all sure it will stay there.

Fun day spent with my BFF who's visiting me here in #ABQ from #ATL. We went to The National #Museum of #NuclearScience & History as well as the New Mexico Museum of #NaturalHistory and Science.
We both agreed that the #NuclearMuseum was by far the best (and outshines several other museums we've both been to) and even though we liked the Nuclear Museum more than the #NMMNH, the NMMNH was 10x better than ATL's #Fernbank Museum!
Tomorrow we're celebrating her birthday at #Denny's then heading up to #SantaFe to visit the #GeorgiaOKeefe Museum and then I'm taking her up to #Taos to see the #RioGrande #Gorge (and if we're feeling brave maybe even cross the bridge).
