Today in Lufkin and Nacogdoches we have the chance of heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms, but the situation doesn't appear to be anything like what North Texas saw last night.

As many as ten possible tornadoes ripped through areas west of Dallas-Fort Worth Wednesday night, and left 250 people homeless, 100 injured, and 6 dead. Changes to those numbers could come today as emergency responders fully assess the damage.

Dreaming of a Wet Christmas? Santa Delivers.

Jen Austin — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 11:44:38 +0000

So it’s not white. It’s a wet Christmas. The rumbles of thunder make it seem more like April than December, and if you’re traveling today expect the rain showers to continue through tonight. If you’re traveling north, the chances of seeing snowflakes increase. The big issue today is the snow that is expected in the [...]

Well it seems like Halloween was a long time ago, but it was just last week. This guy took the opportunity to dish out some tricks instead of treats in the form of basically anything he could find sitting around the house and the pantry. Packets of unidentifable mystery sauce, ancient cereals, old hardware, broken [...]

Will Hurricane Issac hit us in East Texas?

Dan P. — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:51:57 +0000

Late Tuesday or early Wednesday Isaac is expected to make landfall as a hurricane with winds up to 100mph. But the big question is where it will land. Mostly because it’s such a slow moving storm, at about 14 miles an hour. Still over a day away from landfall, forecasters are saying that what will [...]

Jen Austin — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:21:09 +0000

Venturing outside these days makes it hard to breath. Even walking from the nice, cool office out to the car after work can make a girl sweat. And we don’t even want to talk about that temperature inside the car. Ouch! Those seats are sizzlin’.

We probably don’t have to tell you that a heat advisory is in effect for much of East Texas, including Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties, through 7pm Thursday. What does that mean exactly?

Woman Catches Fish, Shark Makes Off With Catch [VIDEO]

Dan P. — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 04:48:42 +0000

I had to watch this video a couple of times, even with the people screaming it was a shark to find out what really happened. So apparently this lady was fishing off of a deck of a house very close to a beach inlet. She had been reeling in a fish she caught when Jaws [...]

I remember when I was a kid one of my favorite shows was “The Dukes of Hazard”. Mostly for the car “The General Lee” and of course Daisy Duke. I used to love to watch the General fly through the air. Funny thing about the T.V. show was that you never saw the car hit [...]

I totally spaced on the entire Venus passing in front of the sun thing. I heard you have to make some special viewer and it just sounded like too much work, and I wouldn’t technically be “seeing” it at all really. So I wait till today to get a few of this phenomenon known as [...]

Parts of East Texas to Get Partial Views of Solar Eclipse

Jen Austin — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:04:20 +0000

An eclipse like this only happens once every twenty years, and it will be viewable in Texas Sunday; partially anyway.

A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the sun for a time, and leaves a ring of fire around its circumference. The sky gets a little spooky-looking for a bit and then the moon and sun part like a good Dancing with the Stars release move, and life goes back to normal.

Spots like Reno, NV and Albuquerque, NM will have the most spectacular views of the complete eclipse, but the entire path of the eclipse stretches from China to Texas. Plenty of folks will have the opportunity to see the rare show of nature.

Dan P. — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:15:13 +0000

Listeners in Shelby and Nacogdoches County started calling the station around 10:11am this morning. Apparently there was a 3.7 magnitude earthquake that struck the southwest side of Timpson. Earthquakes are a very rare thing in East Texas and the first thing that I thought of was fracking, looks like others are having the same thoughts, but it could very well just be a random incident.
