Texas flood infrastructure under strain as climate fuels more intense storms

As global temperatures continue to climb, scientists warn that extreme rainfall events—like the deadly July flooding in Texas—are becoming more frequent and intense. Warmer air holds more moisture, which leads to heavier downpours—a phenomenon climate scientists say is driving more intense storms globally.

Williams hadn't competed anywhere in more than a year, and so even if this tournament was over for her after a 6-2, 6-2 loss to 24th-ranked Magdalena Frech in the second round, just being back out there was big for the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion — and her many
