Tropical Storm Nicholas slows, dumps rain along Gulf Coast
SURFSIDE BEACH, Texas — Tropical Storm Nicholas slowed to a crawl over southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana Tuesday after blowing ashore as a hurricane, knocking out power to a half-million homes and businesses and dumping more than a foot (30.5 centimeters) of rain along the same area swamped by Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

It has been quite some time since the WPCCAS was able to sponsor a large event. Everyone is ready to get out and have fun after so long of being indoors. Bring something yummy to eat, donate a silent auction item or two and come have a good time and support the ani
