## Resource

Governor Greg Abbott declares a major disaster across 28 counties hit by catastrophic storms and flash floods, aiming to save lives and unlock federal aid. Over 2,700 responders, 150 vehicles, 90 boats, and 20 aircraft rescued more than 270 people, with Uvalde among the hardest-hit areas. Officials warn rivers like the Nueces remain dangerous as waters continue to rise, even as rain eases. Cleanup will begin once waters recede, and rebuildtx.org is now live for donations to support recovery efforts. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
