Governor Greg Abbott activates emergency resources in the midst of bad weather

Texas, United States – Governor Greg Abbott activated emergency resources on Sunday in the midst of threats of violent time, officials said.

The Governor ordered the Directorate of the Emergency Department of Texas to activate additional state emergency intervention resources as severe meteorological press threats in certain parts of the State in the coming days, according to a press release from Abbott.

Important bad weather, including the harmful winds and hail, move in northern Texas around 9 p.m. Sunday, which prompted a WFAA weather alert day. The storm could wear up to 70 winds and to the hail the size of a golf ball. The threat of tornado is weak but not zero.

“Texas is ready to deploy all the resources necessary to support the Texans while serious weather conditions move through our state which have the potential to provide sudden floods and heavy rain,” Abbott said in a press release. “The Texans are invited to remain aware of the weather conditions, to regularly check the conditions of the road and to take into account the advice of the State and local officials to ensure the safety of themselves and their relatives.
