Hello Houston (September 8, 2025)

On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Gov. Greg Abbott signing new bills to address camp safety and flood preparedness, and a new state law requiring parental consent before school nurses can administer health care services to students.

In the show’s first hour, to mark 125 years since the Great Storm of 1900 in Galveston — the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history – we talk with lifestyle blogger Roz Pactor and Nash D’Amico of D'Amico's Italian Market Café, who discuss their family’s traditions of honoring the victims of the storm. 

Also, in the first hour, YouTuber Evan Raugust and singer and Catholic youth minister Sal Solo share their thoughts on the Catholic Church’s first millennial saint.

Then, in the second hour, we continue reflecting on the 125^th anniversary of the 1900 Storm by speaking with Will Wright, Chief Creative Officer for the Galveston Historical Foundation, who breaks down Galveston before and after the storm, and how the city has continued to adapt, rebuild, and persevere.
