As soon as I posted this, they just changed it to a Red Flag. Probably safe to just avoid the water altogether, especially later today and this evening.

We are just one week away from #nationaldonutday which is June 5. It became a holiday after Salvation Army “Donut Lassies” traveled overseas to provide emotional and spiritual support, supplies, and other services to our troops on the front lines. They also provided fresh donuts.

Summer heat is on the way, and with it come dangerous conditions, especially for our neighbors experiencing poverty and homelessness. To combat the heat, The Salvation Army provides relief across the region through cooling stations, fan drives, and more. But to get started, we need your help. From now until June 6, round up your purchase at any Westlake Ace Hardware for our annual Fan Drive. By rounding up, you help provide new box fans for neighbors who may not have access to air conditioning during the hottest months of the year. Every dollar stays local and helps keep North Texans safe. Stop by your neighborhood Westlake Ace and help make a difference today. #DoingTheMostGood #SalvationArmyNTX #WestlakeAceHardware #FanDrive #SummerHeat

For 15 years, we've helped cut the number of veterans facing homelessness in half. We've invested $650M in veteran housing and improved more than 70K veteran homes and facilities. As we honor #MilitaryAppreciationMonth, we are committed to continuing to serve those who served.
