January 13, 2025 (Lake Jackson, TX) In the middle of January it is easy to forget about the near record setting heat experienced during the summer of 2024, here southern Brazoria County. But that hot weather and the suffering it caused, was the reason the Brazosport Rotary Club donated $2,000.00 to ‘Actions Inc’ for the purchase of fans.

A new storm, Major Hurricane Milton, is heading toward Florida and is expected to pass just south of Tampa and Orlando. It will bring strong winds, heavy rain, and a dangerous and deadly storm surge of 10-15 feet to the coast around Tampa on Wednesday night. Residents will wake up on Thursday morning or make the drive back to their homes to assess the damage caused by the storm. The damage they face may be overwhelming, and they will realize that they need help to recover from the storm, some more quickly than others.
