Alex threatens Texas Gulf Coast as Alex nears landing
Hurricane Alex moved toward the Texas coast with 100 mph winds as communities from Brownsville to South Padre Island boarded up and prepared for potential flooding. Tornadoes touched down briefly near Brownsville with no injuries reported while more than 100 families sought shelter in a Brownsville high school. Governors and officials warned of heavy rains possibly totaling up to a foot in the region, with farmers bracing for losses exceeding 44 million dollars if crops are hit.

Texas EPA clash over flexible air permits and court risk
The EPA pressed Texas over flexible air permits issued since 1994, saying they violate the Clean Air Act by masking emissions. Texas officials defended the program, noted rule changes, and signaled possible court action. Exxon Mobil Baytown and other plants face a restructuring pathway with independent audits proposed. Environmental groups anticipate a prolonged battle.
