· KRGV (NBC 5)
As hurricane season begins, shrimpers in the Rio Grande Valley are adjusting their work plans to account for potential tropical weather. EJ Cuevas, who runs Cuevas Trawlers, emphasizes the need to stay informed about weather conditions while shrimping. Unlike those on land, shrimpers often receive storm updates from crews at sea, allowing them to make timely decisions about safety. When storms approach, boats may need to dock at distant ports, and crews prepare by securing vessels with ropes. Cuevas recalls the chaos before Hurricane Dolly, highlighting the unpredictable nature of their work and the importance of safety during this season.
