Tropical Storm Alberto has caused significant damage in South Texas, with various regions reporting different impacts. Jim Wells County is making disaster reports, while the Bolivar Peninsula experienced destruction from the storm surge despite not being hit directly. On Galveston Island and Surfside, teams from the Texas General Land Office's Coastal Management Program are assessing erosion impacts, particularly in areas like Sunny Beach that were built up after Hurricane Ike. Residents in Ingleside on the Bay are continuing cleanup efforts. However, South Texas, which is experiencing record-low levels in its major reservoirs, did not receive enough rain from the storm, raising concerns for the citrus industry this summer.
