The storm that changed Galveston (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Gulf was already crossing parts of Galveston when Saturday morning began. Unusually large swells rolled toward the island. Water covered low streets despite winds blowing from the north. Residents gathered near the beach to watch the increasingly violent surf. The prosperous port city had no seawall, little elevation and no practical way to see what was approaching from across the Gulf of Mexico. By nightfall, much of the city would be destroyed. The hurricane that struck Galveston on Septem
Does Bexar County's new emissions test actually work? (opens the original)

But for emergency managers, utility crews and first responders, another critical phase of the disaster is just beginning. What happened — and where is help needed first? Researchers at Texas A&M University are working on new ways to answer those questions faster, combining engineering, drones, three-dimensional modeling and artificial
Hurricanes that hit San Antonio without hitting San Antonio (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SAN ANTONIO - San Antonio is more than 100 miles from the Gulf Coast. History shows that's not nearly far enough to ignore a hurricane. When people in San Antonio think about hurricanes, the first images that come to mind are usually along the Texas coast: boarded-up homes, enormous waves, storm surge and hurricane-force winds. But some of the biggest tropical impacts on San Antonio haven't looked anything like that. The hurricane doesn't have to come here. Sometimes, the water does. History pro
