Winter Weather Causing Rolling Blackouts

5 years ago By News Staff

The winter storm passing through Texas is causing power outages and rolling blackouts statewide, including here in Fayette County. Craig Moreau, Chief of Emergency Management for Fayette County, asked everyone to stay off the roadways and check on neighbors, especially the elderly.

"We need to check on our older folks," Moreau told the Record on Monday morning, Feb. 15. "Frequently call them or if you can, go by and check on them, see if they are OK and if they need anything. The power outages is our main worry for folks who depend on electricity for heat."

As much as I am asked, sadly I cannot make it rain so I thought the next best thing was to talk about the times we get too much rain in hopes some would come our way. I am sure you have all heard these terms thrown around, especially after Hurricane Harvey in 2017: 1 in 200 year drought, 1 in 500 year storm, 1 in 1000 year flood.

Use Valentine’s Day as Car Safety Reminder

5 years ago By News Staff
Valentine’s Day is a good time to show your love by making sure that before you start your vehicle all passengers big and small are always buckled up correctly. This is even more important this year during the pandemic when there is more reckless driving on our roadways and an increase in unbuckled fatalities.

5 years ago By Round Top News By Kyla Goebel
The Round Top-Carmine Education Foundation had a very successful fundraiser at the Rifle Hall last weekend. Thanks to catering by the Round Top Rifle Hall Association, 800 plates were served in the drive-thru. Teachers, students, the Foundation board and administrators worked hard together to raise funds, with over 80 items on the silent auction. Though the State of Texas will recapture $1,274,000 of RT-C ISD’s property taxes next year, the necessary budget for the funding of arts, technology and teacher grants was raised, thanks to the community with the “Big Hearts.” If you didn’t get to participate, you can still help at www.rtceducationfoundation.org.
