As a result of approaching Tropical Storms Marco and Laura, Governor Greg Abbott had mobilized the Texas National Guard.
The Mayor of one South Texas city is calling for a voluntary evacuation, as Tropical Storm Warnings for Marco are cancelled and the Gulf Coast braces for the arrival of Laura as a potential Category 2 hurricane.
After a day as a hurricane, Marco was downgraded to a tropical storm Sunday night as it approached Louisiana for an expected landfall around midday Monday.
In North Texas, disaster relief organizations are preparing for the arrival of Tropical Storm Marco and Tropical Storm Laura. They're hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
Tropical Storm Marco is quickly approaching landfall in Louisiana, with Laura -- which could become a strong hurricane -- following right behind this week. Texas could see activity from both of these storms.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday held a briefing about the state's response to Hurricane Marco and Tropical Storm Laura as the systems head toward the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Marco was upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane Sunday and is expected to make landfall on the Louisiana coast Monday. The latest track has it moving northwest through North Texas.
