I mean, technically, it's just the Gulf of Mexico.
Honestly you'd figure all the crude oil floating around and other platform run off and leakage would kill the bacteria. Like two negatives make a positive
All of these beaches listed here, but Corpus Christie are in the direct path of the Trinity river which is where waste waster effluent leaves the DFW area. This shouldn’t be a surprise knowing that, and it has certainly been brought up in the past that that might be a problem
When I was a kid (circa mid 2000s) Galveston beach was mid as fuck, but a fun enough time. Water was never clear, but it didn’t feel unsafe.
Now in the last 5 years or so, Galveston beach is genuinely disgusting. If you visit you want to do the dry stuff like restaurants and Keema boardwalk. The most you want to do with the beach is glance at it and wince.
Yeah fuck the headline, but I do not change headlines when posting. The original headline (and the one displayed on google news) just had the amount in the headline…Absolutely hate when outlets change headlines
Still a news headline, some people may find this interesting. It’s not my job to discern what is and isn’t interesting, just to post here for my fellow Texans
Either Paxton is so monumentally incompetent that he actually believed in his challenge to the election results, in which case he should be disbarred because no one that mentally challenged should be practicing law; or he knew his challenge was baseless, in which case he should be disbarred for knowingly bringing a frivolous case before the court.
This is horrible. Agreed on removing traps that can kill persons. But I would like to know how these buoys are a death trap. No mention on the article either. Any thoughts on how?
The article isn’t clear. “On or near the buoy” could mean a lot of things - clinging to a buoy or floating next to one, at the very least.
“Razor wire and drowning devices” is also mentioned specifically but without any details. Buoys that are linked together with razor wire? Seems pretty on-brand for Abbot, to be honest. “Getting entangled in the barrier” seems to support this.
They are floating balls that are covered in loops of razorwire, which hangs down underneath the bouy. They’re clearly designed to snare people who try to swim under them, which could result in drowning, bleeding to death, or even dying of hypothermia if trapped there for too long. The Rio Grande is not warm at night.
