An Alice woman, who goes by the name Hope, was given the day off from working because of Tropical Storm Alberto. She said she’s been taking it easy and only came out to purchase a few items.
“I just went to go buy Corona Premium from H-E-B. That’s where I’m going. To buy some Doritos. We got some chicken salad. That’s what we’re doing,” Hope said.
Hope, who has lived in Alice her entire life, said please drive safe, wear your seat belts as more rain is expected.
