Reporting here centers on hurricane and tropical storm tracks, flood and storm damage, heat and drought conditions, and the emergency management decisions that follow. Coverage runs across the city and into the communities around it wherever a storm or hazard crosses the line. Coastal exposure means the Gulf of Mexico drives much of the season's risk, so storm approach and landfall get sustained attention. Power outages, shelter operations and debris cleanup are the recovery stories that tend to last longest.
