UTSA officials monitor weather as storm approaches
(5 p.m. July 15, 2003)--San Antonians enjoyed a respite from the heat as rain began to fall Tuesday afternoon.
Officials at UTSA are monitoring the situation with Tropical Storm Claudette, and at this time there are no weather-related schedule changes at UTSA's campuses.
For current information on UTSA schedule changes, call 210-458-SNOW, the UTSA weather hot line.
Hurricane Claudette was downgraded to tropical-storm status by late Tuesday afternoon. According to Associated Press, Hurricane Claudette hit the Texas Gulf Coast on Tuesday, barely at hurricane strength but still powerful enough to peel off roofs, knock out power and flood low-lying areas. No serious injuries were reported along the Texas coast.
Claudette became a hurricane, the first of the Atlantic storm season, early Tuesday when sustained wind around its eye reached 74 mph. By the time it hit land at midday, its sustained wind topped 80 mph and gusts of 88 mph were recorded at Wadsworth, site of the South Texas Project nuclear power plant.
