Swimmer dies after getting caught in rip current in Galveston
SUMMARY: A 26-year-old Louisiana man died after being caught in a rip current near Galveston's Pleasure Pier. The incident occurred around noon when five swimmers were swept by a strong rip current. Lifeguards rescued three people, another swam ashore independently, but the man drowned and was later pronounced dead at the hospital after CPR efforts failed. During Memorial Day weekend, a rip current warning is in effect along the Texas coast, with red flags signaling danger. Beachgoers are advised to stay shallow, especially near jetties and piers, and follow lifeguards' guidance to avoid these perilous currents.

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.
