Hurricane Hanna, the first of the Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall along the southern coast of Texas on Saturday. The city of Corpus Christi is now bracing for the storm — while also dealing with a spike in coronavirus cases.
As Hurricane Hanna approaches, Corpus Christi Mayor Joe McComb said he felt certain that the region is prepared to handle both the storm and the pandemic.
"Don't feel like since we've been fighting COVID for five months that we're out of energy or we're out of gas. We're not. We can do these two things together and we're going to win both of them. And so, we'll get through this," McCombBut McComb's comments also reflected the realities of the pandemic as he urged residents to take masks with them if they have to evacuate and stay with others.
"We don't want to expose anyone during this storm. ... Even when you're in the house, I recommend wearing a mask if you're in crowded conditions" McComb toldthat if families are evacuated to shelters, there are plans in place to make sure they are socially distanced from one another. By Saturday morning, Hurricane Hanna was about 85 miles from Corpus Christi and moving at a rate of 7 mph. As the storm continues to make its path toward south Texas, two other storms are being watched closely. Hurricane Douglas is in the Pacific and is expected to either pass nearby or over the main Hawaiian islands between Saturday and Sunday evening.
