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

00:56 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
