Texans Are Prepping For Thunderstorms, Flooding, and Hail This Week

Spring showers are pouring over Texas this week. Rain across Texas has already begun to cause flooding, damage, and even massive hail.

The National Weather Service warned of multiple thunderstorms that will be traveling around Texas for the next several days. With this rain, they also warn of tornados and flooding.

Flash flood watches have been issued in the following Texas counties until Friday:

• Aransas Islands
• Bee
• Coastal Aransas
• Coastal/Inland/Islands Calhoun
• Coastal/Inland/Islands Kleberg
• Coastal/Inland/Islands Nueces
• Coastal/Inland Refugio
• Coastal/Inland San Patricio
• Duval
• Goliad
• Jim Wells
• La Salle
• Live Oak
• McMullen
• Victoria
• Webb

Warnings in these countries warn of a few different risks including:

"Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. "

Fortunately, this rainfall isn't predicted to bring "dirty rainfall." Yeah, that's a thing.

Dirty rainfall has recently been an intriguing topic in Texas but what is it?

Is Rain Actually Dirty?

Well, "dirty rainfall" isn't exactly rain. Newsweek recently explained that dirty rain happens when debris from a major dust storm mixes with precipitation.

When debris and precipitation mix you get a nice little rain hybrid that leaves a mirky brown residue on your vehicle- yuck! Honestly, the name is exactly what it sounds like, dirt mixed with rain.
