Severe Weather Awareness Week 2021 encourages preparation well ahead of storms
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Texas in the spring can be a beautiful scene with bluebonnets in bloom and the brown vegetation giving way to an awakening of greenery. It can also mean dangerous and fast-moving storms that bring damage and other threats to the region.
Severe Weather Awareness Week happens March 8-12 this year.
It's a time designed to remind and educate people about the seasonal threats that severe weather can bring and how to avoid them.
