The top local stories this evening from ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº:
The Texas Water Development Board is working on the state's first-ever flood plan.
Earlier this year, before Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, state lawmakers approved 600 thousand dollars to develop a plan. It will look at flood risks across Texas -- and ways to address those risks. The board wants to finish the plan by 2019, when the Texas Legislature meets again.
