Hantavirus. Ebola. New World Screwworm. High gas/grocery prices. I feel like we’re back in Jumanji, Hunger Games and Survivor. 🫩

[Erica Simon @EricaOnABC13]

Bad news.

The New World Screwworm fly has been found in U.S. cattle for the first time since 1966. 🐄 The confirmed case was detected in a calf in South Texas.

If this spreads, it absolutely will drive up beef costs.

@Raquayza19 @EN0CX I’m guessing he from Dallas! It’s a ducktail.

Today is the first day of Atlantic Hurricane Season. 🌀 Houston and southeast Texas: all it takes is one to be OUR storm. Start gathering supplies and forming a plan to keep you and your family safe.

I saw Manhattenhenge last summer from this very spot. 🌅 It’s so cool!

[ABC News @ABC]

Crowds gathered on West 42nd Street in New York to witness the "Manhattanhenge" phenomenon — when the sun sets in alignment with the city's street grid. https://t.co/S6XP0qYoHc

Kudos to Galveston Fire Department! 👏🏽 The Iron Shark is 100 feet tall. Their ladder is 105 feet … meaning they had to do everything carefully and strategically to get all eight riders.

[Erica Simon @EricaOnABC13]

Terrifying day at Pleasure Pier in Galveston! About 5:20 p.m. the Iron Shark roller coaster stopped, leaving students suspended in air. 🎢 Took hours, but thankfully everyone has been rescued. @abc13houston’s SkyEye13 captured it all. https://t.co/GRRHFCX1Vz
