Mangrove cuckoo sighted in Galveston County for second time ever
SUMMARY: A rare sighting of a mangrove cuckoo has been reported in Galveston, Texas. The Galveston Island Nature Tourism Council confirmed that this is only the second time the species has been seen in the area, with the first sighting in 1982. The mangrove cuckoo is a native of the Neotropics, predominantly living in regions of southern Florida, the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, and Central America. The long and lanky bird is difficult to spot due to its secretive nature.

SUMMARY: A storm hit Galveston County early morning, causing significant flooding. Texas City saw water entering homes, prompting officials to advise against long trips. Rainfall exceeded six inches, with more expected throughout the day. Flash flood watches cover most of the county, and debris from Hurricane Beryl heightened flood risks. Low-lying areas and certain roads are heavily affected. Power outages occurred, likely due to lightning, and roads are impassable in several spots. Emergency crews are working on rescues and clearing drains. Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve, with rain expected to ease by the evening.
