Weather Update!

Severe rain and thunderstorms are predicted across Texas for the rest of the week. While most of the heavier rain will be north of Richmond, this will still have an impact on the Brazos River. We will be monitoring the river levels throughout the storms. It is never too early to prepare.

As this storm passes through the State of Texas, we ask that you help us prevent flooding by removing all loose debris in and around your yard which could block the storm drains in the city. If you can avoid driving through heavy rain, and possible flooded roads, please do so. “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”

Rain amounts are predicted to be 1 to 3 inches per hour which can cause street flooding in the area. Please be sure and clear your yard of any loose debris which could block storm drains and enhance flooding probabilities. Please stay off of the roads if at all possible. Do not try to drive through flooded areas; Turn Around - Don't Drown.

They are cute but they are not ours.

Flaring of Derailed Train Cars!

The Union Pacific Railroad will be flaring the derailed train cars in Richmond today. This is from the train derailment which occurred in March. This is a controlled burn. You may see flames coming from the area of the derailed cars but it is safe.

Flaring of derailed train cars is a controlled emergency response technique used to burn off hazardous, pressurized liquids or gases—such as propane or ethanol—from damaged tanker cars. This procedure mitigates risks of uncontained explosions by safely releasing and igniting materials in a secured, intentional, and monitored manner.

We are receiving several calls regarding any evacuation concerns due to the train derailment in Richmond. While a couple of derailed cars did leak ethanol, there are no safety concerns to the public. The derailment occurred in a non residential area. Assessments were conducted by HazMat teams who have determined there is no environmental impact to waterways in the area. We will keep you updated if anything changes.
