    "Prepare for Summer Storms: Austin's Resilient Spirit & Flood Preparedness"
    2025/05/24
    Good morning, Austin. I’m Morgan Riley, bringing you the word on the streets of Austin—your trusted, friendly guide to what’s happening in our city. Whether you’re tuning in on your morning commute or catching up with a cup of coffee, here’s what’s making news today.

    We’re heading into Memorial Day weekend with a sharp eye on preparedness. Governor Greg Abbott has proclaimed this week as Hurricane Preparedness Week across Texas. While hurricanes don’t always make landfall in Austin, our history—especially the devastating flooding ten years ago—reminds us that severe weather can have real consequences here. The city is encouraging residents to review emergency plans and stock up on supplies ahead of the summer storm season.

    Turning to major local news, today is “2015 Austin Flood Remembrance Day.” The city has officially marked May 25 to honor the lives lost and entire neighborhoods impacted by that historic event. City officials are hosting commemorative events and encouraging everyone to stay vigilant. A decade later, Austin’s flood mitigation efforts and resilient spirit stand as a testament to what we can accomplish together.

    Now, let’s spotlight one of Austin’s most beloved community spaces—Givens Pool, Park, and Recreation Center. After extensive public input and months of improvements, the park is unveiling upgraded facilities just in time for summer. I spoke with longtime East Austin resident, Gloria Ramirez, who says Givens Park is where her family has gathered for three generations and she’s thrilled to see the city investing in a space that brings folks together from all walks of life.

    For weather, expect a classic dose of late spring heat. Today’s high will be around 98 degrees, with Saturday climbing to 99. If you’re planning to beat the heat at Commons Ford Ranch Metropolitan Park, keep in mind there are new parking and operational changes for the holiday weekend, so arrive early and check city updates before you go.

    Looking ahead, it’s National Small Business Week, and there are free training sessions and live panels happening all over Austin for entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. If you’re looking to support local, browse the events calendar on the city website for a full lineup of workshops and pop-ups.

    As we honor the past and look toward the future, it’s clear that Austin’s sense of community and readiness remains strong—blending tradition with adaptation, just like a classic blues riff meeting a modern indie beat.

  • "Drought Impacts, Lake Austin Restrictions, and Community Enhancements - Your Austin News Update"

    "Drought Impacts, Lake Austin Restrictions, and Community Enhancements - Your Austin News Update"
    2025/05/23
    Hello Austin, I'm Morgan Riley, welcoming you to another Austin News Update. Let's dive into what's happening in our vibrant city this Friday, May 23rd, 2025.

    Word on the streets of Austin is that Governor Abbott has renewed the drought disaster proclamation for Texas this week. On Wednesday, the Governor amended and renewed the proclamation, highlighting ongoing concerns about water conservation across our state. This comes as Central Texas continues to face challenging dry conditions that are affecting both residents and businesses.

    In transportation news, Austin police have identified a woman who was tragically killed in an East Austin crash earlier this week. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the accident, which occurred on Monday. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends affected by this loss.

    Looking ahead to the Memorial Day weekend, the City of Austin has announced a personal watercraft ban on Lake Austin. The temporary restriction, announced yesterday, aims to enhance safety during what's typically one of the busiest boating weekends of the year. If you're planning to spend time on the water, remember that the ban specifically applies to personal watercraft, jet skis, and similar vessels.

    On a positive note, Austin Parks and Recreation Department has been busy with exciting community improvements. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 7th, when the Givens Pool Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will take place. This represents a significant improvement to recreational facilities in East Austin. Additionally, the Historic Oakwood Cemetery Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired Plot has officially reopened after restoration efforts by multiple community organizations.

    For those looking to beat the heat this weekend, local leaders have provided guidance and tips to keep cool as temperatures continue to rise. And if you're heading to Zilker Park, remember that the Zilker Loop offers free and convenient seasonal service to access popular park amenities.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at continued warm temperatures through the weekend, so remember to stay hydrated and take precautions if you're spending time outdoors.

  • "Autonomous Taxis, Measles Outbreak, and Givens Pool Reopening: Austin News Roundup"

    "Autonomous Taxis, Measles Outbreak, and Givens Pool Reopening: Austin News Roundup"
    2025/05/22
    Hello Austin, I'm Morgan Riley bringing you the word on the streets of Austin this Thursday, May 22nd.

    Today's top stories: Tesla robotaxis are coming to Austin next month, Hays County reports its first measles case, and we've got details on the upcoming Givens Pool reopening celebration.

    Elon Musk made a major announcement yesterday during an interview at Tesla's Austin headquarters. The CEO revealed that the company's highly anticipated robotaxis will begin operating on Austin streets by the end of June. This makes our city the first testing ground for the autonomous vehicles before they roll out to Los Angeles and San Francisco. The announcement marks a significant step toward Musk's vision of self-driving transportation.

    In health news, Hays County has reported its first positive measles case amid a growing outbreak. A Kyle resident tested positive, and according to the Texas Department of State Health Services, the individual is considered unvaccinated due to being unable to provide documentation of receiving the measles vaccine. Health officials are urging residents to check their vaccination status as measles is highly contagious.

    On a positive note, the Austin Parks and Recreation Department is preparing for the Givens Pool Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Saturday, June 7th. The event celebrates the completion of improvements to Givens Pool, Park, and Recreation Center. This revitalized community space will provide much-needed recreation options as we head into the summer months.

    Speaking of summer, local leaders have released guidance and tips to keep Austin cool during our notoriously hot season. The Zilker Loop, a free and convenient seasonal service, is now operating, making it easier than ever for visitors to access popular park amenities. This service comes just in time as temperatures begin to climb across Central Texas.

    In sports news, Austin FC secured a victory in the US Open Cup against Houston Dynamo, advancing the team in the tournament. Meanwhile, baseball fans are excited as Texas and Clemson are set to clash in the Austin super regional.

    As we move deeper into May, remember that these longer, warmer days are perfect for exploring our city's outdoor spaces, but be sure to stay hydrated and sun-protected during your adventures.
