High waters flooded neighborhoods around Houston on Saturday following heavy rains that have already resulted in crews rescuing more than 400 people from homes, rooftops and roads engulfed in murky water. Others prepared to evacuate their property. A flood watch remained in effect through Sunday afternoon as forecasters predicted additional rain. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo says 178 people have been rescued and 122 pets have been rescued so far in the county. She said the area is expecting more rain on Sunday and if it’s a lot, it could be problematic. For weeks, drenching rains in Texas and parts of Louisiana have filled reservoirs and saturated the ground.

The United States is gearing up for Cinco de Mayo. Music, all-day happy hours and deals on tacos are planned at venues across the country on Sunday — May 5 — in a celebration with widely misunderstood origins that is barely recognized south of the border. In the U.S., the date is largely seen as a celebration of Mexican American culture stretching back to the 1800s in California. Typical festivities include parades, street food, block parties, mariachi competitions and baile folklórico, or folkloric dance, with whirling dancers wearing shiny ribbons with braids and bright, ruffled dresses.
A makeshift national network of abortion doulas, navigators at clinics and individual volunteers are helping people who live in restrictive states and need or want an abortion. They provide advice, referrals, financial assistance and emotional support. Abortion rights advocates say these helpers are especially important in states with strict abortion laws where options are narrowing. Abortion opponents say the laws protect the unborn and point women to their centers, which provide things like parenting classes and baby supplies. Volunteers who help women find abortions say the work is just as essential as something like a volunteer fire department.
