Bell County Emergency Management assessing storm damage
BELL COUNTY, Texas (FOX 44) – The Bell County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is assessing damage from two rounds of severe storms. According to county, these storms occured on Monday, May 26. These resulted in power outages, structural damage, and debris-covered roadways. The first round began around 7 a.m., followed by a second round around 8 p.m. Bell County Emergency Management (OEM), along with Bell County Road and Bridge and the Texas Department of Transportation, worked through the night to clear debris from roadways. The county says storms moved from west to east, producing heavy rainfall, damaging winds, and some hail. Wind gusts reached 80 to 85 miles per hour, knocking over trees and power lines and damaging homes and outbuildings. The county says no tornadoes have been confirmed. The Office of Emergency Management has not received any reports of major injuries. ONCOR crews are working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. However, the county says this process may take time due to numerous downed power poles and lines. Property owners who sustained damage are encouraged to report it through the Texas Division of Emergency Management's (TDEM) Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool (iSTAT). The county says this tool allows people to report damage to private homes and businesses, helping emergency officials assess the extent of the impact. If you need to report storm damage, you can visit the TDEM iSTAT website or scan the QR code below. Select the survey titled 'May 18th – Ongoing Severe Weather.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Cove water main break leads to Disaster Declaration
COPPERAS COVE, Texas (FOX 44) – A Declaration of Local Disaster and an Order for Stage 4B Implementation has been issued after a water main break in Copperas Cove. The city says a public notice was released on May 1, announcing a pending temporary upgrade to Stage 4 Water Conservation in support of WCID 1's construction projects. The planned construction dates were confirmed for May 26-30, and the city has been preparing and publishing public notices for customer notifications. However, the city says its water system has suffered a water main break on one of its main transmission lines prior to the scheduled WCID 1 event. This is compromising the water system's ability to meet customer demand while the line is being repaired. Copperas Cove Mayor Dan D. Yancey issued a Declaration of Local Disaster on Monday morning, in addition to an Order for Stage 4B Implementation. The order is anticipated to be in place through the WCID 1 project completion on May 30. All Copperas Cove citizens are encouraged to review and be familiar with the Stage 4B Restrictions as they are outlined in the document below, or on the city website here. Any person who knowingly or intentionally allows the use of water in violation of the order may be issued a citation for a Class C Misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $100 to $2,000. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact: Water Distribution Superintendent Corey Chambers at cchambers@ or (254) 547-2416. Public Relations Specialist Anna Rodriguez at arodriguez@ or (254) 547-4221, Ext. 6704. Code Compliance Supervisor Robert Henning, Jr. at rhenning@ or (254) 542-8966.

Officials Urge Water Safety Ahead of Summer Season
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) — May is recognized as National Water Safety Month and as summer approaches and temperatures rise, many Central Texans will be looking for ways to cool off — and taking a swim is often the go-to solution. However, experts warn that it's crucial to stay safe and be prepared before heading into the water. Chris Bradford is the associate executive director of the YMCA in Waco. He says drownings happen more often than people may realize. 'The leading cause of accidental death in children between the ages of one and four is drowning,' Bradford said. 'Children are more likely to drown than they are to be in a motor vehicle accident. So if your child cannot learn to swim, the best thing that you can do is put them in swim lessons or make sure that they are in that U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.' This same advice applies to area lakes, including Lake Waco. 'Life jackets only work if you use them, so we highly recommend that you're wearing them when you're out on the water,' said Arianna Jacinto, Lake Waco's lead park ranger. 'We have designated swim beaches here around our lake. We have Twin Bridges and we have Airport Park, and both of them are delineated with swim buoys to help keep boats out, and we also have life jacket loaner stations.' Jacinto said the life jacket loaner stations are free to use, and are available for anyone on the water. Visitors are encouraged to return the jackets after use so others can stay safe, too. Whether you're swimming at home this summer, at a public pool or out on the lake, the message remains the same — stay aware, be prepared, and always prioritize safety, no matter your age. 'You are more likely that your child does not learn to swim if you yourself cannot swim. Fear is transferable to our children. So if you have a fear of the water, your children will have a fear of the water,' Bradford said. Experts agree that enrolling in swim lessons is one of the best investments a family can make to prepare for summer. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
