Good morning, Abilene.

After catastrophic flooding damaged many homes, Minuteman volunteers are helping affected homeowners start the rebuild process—providing essential support and guidance as work continues across the area.

Engineers and environmentalists are studying weather forecast models to see how risks like flooding+tornado activity are predicted, and they will use their findings to guide future weather warnings.

CityLink bus riders in Abilene say some stops offer only a sign on a pole instead of benches and shelters—forcing riders to wait in harsh weather—and they hope the city will soon add seating and shade as summer heat rises.

Residents on the 3000 block of Grape Street are worried about a deep pothole that damaged vehicles and made driving unsafe.

The city acknowledged the issue on July 10 via its See-Fix-Click app and has already repaired over 46,000 potholes—residents hope this one will be fixed soon.

Nurse practitioner Clay Lohse says that drinking at least 8 to 10 water bottles each day+and more when temperatures rise helps keep sodium levels in check and prevents muscle cramps, confusion, and weakness.

The summer has been milder so far compared to last year, but his advice remains important for outdoor workers.
