Good morning, Austin. I’m Morgan Riley, and this is your go-to source for the latest on what matters most here in the capital city. Word on the streets of Austin is we’re waking up to a city both resilient and vibrant after a dramatic midweek weather event, so let’s dive right in.

Last night, severe storms swept across Austin, leaving behind significant damage in several neighborhoods and prompting multiple rescue operations. Emergency crews responded to calls for stranded drivers and residents as heavy rain and strong winds downed trees and power lines throughout the city. While no major injuries have been reported, the aftermath is a reminder of the unpredictable power of Texas weather. If classic cinema taught us anything—from Twister to the more recent Deepwater Horizon—it’s that communities come together strongest in times of adversity, and word is our first responders have truly stepped up once again.

Switching gears to local governance, the Dripping Springs ISD Board has just called for a school bond election, putting a $402.3 million package before voters. This move aims to address overcrowding and aging facilities in one of the region’s fastest-growing districts. These sorts of investments in education lay the groundwork for the next generation of Austinites, blending our proud traditions with forward-thinking vision.

On a brighter note, let me shine a light on an inspiring local endeavor. This past week, East Austin’s Third Coast Coffee has been hosting workshops for high school students interested in sustainable agriculture and entrepreneurship. Owner Anita Martinez, a third-generation Austinite, says the goal is to root young people in both the history of the city and new opportunities—proof that innovation and heritage can thrive side by side on these historic streets.

Looking ahead, expect summer to make its presence known. Today’s temperatures are climbing to the mid-80s, with a hot weekend ahead—highs near 99 degrees. So remember to stay hydrated and check on neighbors, especially those who might be more vulnerable in the heat.

For those eager to get out and connect, this weekend brings no shortage of community events. From the classic Austin Flea Market at Palmer Events Center to the Greenbelt Clean-Up on Saturday morning, there’s a little something for every taste. And of course, keep an ear out for the city’s signature sounds—music is returning to Zilker Park’s outdoor stage, with local acts taking the spotlight Friday and Saturday evenings.

As we wrap up, let’s remember that whether it’s responding to storms, investing in schools, or coming together through shared experiences, Austin’s greatest strength is its people. Our city’s story balances the challenges of today with the optimism of tomorrow—a reminder that community and resilience are always in style, no matter the era.
