Is it safe to travel now that people are getting vaccinated for covid-19.

Houston Matters host Craig Cohen spoke with experts about how vaccinations have changed traveling guidelines, and the safety precautions Houstonians should take if choosing to travel this summer.

Airline passengers wait to check-in at George Bush Intercontinental Airport Sunday, May 16, 2021, in Houston. Airline travel is increasing as more Americans are getting the COVID-19 vaccination.

As summer approaches and more people are getting vaccinated, is it now safe to travel? And if so, how is travel different at this stage of the pandemic?

Houston Matters host Craig Cohen spoke with experts about how vaccinations have changed traveling guidelines , and the safety precautions Houstonians should take if they choose to travel this summer.

According to Prathit Kulkarni, assistant professor of medicine and infectious diseases at the Baylor College of Medicine, getting the vaccine is the most effective way of lowering the risk of having severe side effects if someone were to be infected. However, domestic and overseas travelers should continue to wear masks at airports and public settings, as well as social distance, he said.

"If you're in that category of ‘fully vaccinated', truly your risk comes down substantially," he said.

Domestic travel is a safer option as compared to international. Fully vaccinated travelers staying within the states will not be required to quarantine or get COVID tested before they depart or when they arrive home, according to CDC guidelines.

As for vaccinated international travelers, Kulkarni said they should get tested a few days after their home arrival, to ensure someone is not asymptomatically positive for COVID. However, quarantining isn’t necessary if you’re fully vaccinated, two weeks out from your final dose.

“As long as you follow the other general public health guidance while you're traveling and on the plane, I can't say the risk is zero, but it’s reasonably low,” Kulkarni said.

Many countries also have different requirements on whether travelers should get tested before departure. Depending on the destination, each country could also have a different variance on how COVID is affecting them. Kulkarni said countries such as India and Brazil are facing some of the worst phases of the pandemic, for example.

General principles remain if someone were to fall ill during their travel, he said. Getting a test as quickly as possible and self-isolating is the best way to ensure safety for yourself and others.

With emergency use authorization underway for younger adolescents to receive a vaccine, children are at a lower risk of catching and transmitting the disease, according to Kulkarni. However, children older than 2 should wear masks and socially distance like everyone else, he said. Kulkarni also said families should consult their pediatrician prior to traveling with children.

While traveling by plane is a risk some people may not be willing to take quite yet, the amount of travel by car has steadily increased, as have hotel bookings, according to Agnes DeFranco, professor in the Conrad N. Hilton College of Restaurant and Hotel Management at the University of Houston. Thirty-seven million people are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home, a 60% increase compared to last year, according to AAA .

"The travel industry is coming back," DeFranco said. "It’s not 100% yet, but its very strong."

According to DeFranco, hotel occupancy has seen an increase in Orlando and Las Vegas. Increased vaccinations mean people are growing more comfortable being in a closer proximity with one another, DeFranco said.

In terms of following COVID guidelines, DeFranco said airports, cruise lines, and hotels are taking the right precautions in ensuring safety for all travelers.

"Everyone in the travel industry is doing the right thing," she said.

Houston weather: Texas Department of Transportation urging drivers to stay off the roads

HOUSTON - The arctic blast and icy conditions in the Houston area have officials urging drivers to stay off the road where possible.

Texas Department of Transportation crews have been monitoring conditions and pretreating major highway bridges, ramps, and overpasses. Drivers are reminded to allow work crews plenty of room to operate and slow down when approaching them.

FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku, Google Android TV, and Vizio!

While TxDOT and its crews do their best to keep the roadways safe, it’s up to drivers to do their part and take precautions when driving in hazardous winter conditions.

TxDOT encourages drivers to plan ahead by checking weather forecasts and visiting www.DriveTexas.org to see conditions and closures.

Winter weather creates unpredictable and dangerous driving conditions. While travel is strongly discouraged, if travel is necessary, drivers are encouraged to use extreme caution and follow the winter safety travel tips below.

If you must drive, reduce your speed and increase your following distance.
If you must drive, anticipate travel delays. Plan ahead and allow plenty of extra time to reach your destination.
Remember that everyone on the road is dealing with the same conditions. Be courteous to other drivers, so everyone can safety get where they’re going.
Carry an emergency kit (with food, water, blanket, etc.) in your vehicle, just in case.
It’s important to remember that conditions on roadways can change rapidly and even with proactive measures the fast-changing severe Texas weather can still result in some ice accumulating.

In order for passengers to have the best airport experience, Houston Airports urges passengers to do two things, reserve parking online before arriving at IAH and follow the simple recommendations, listed below, on this webpage.

Arriving early to the airport allows passengers the additional time needed to park or reach the arrivals curb, check baggage, clear TSA security and reach their gate.

See the live traffic map showing the roads that lead to Bush Airport. Houston Airports recommends passengers monitor traffic conditions in the hours leading up to their flights.

WHY NOW | Change is Coming to IAH

Houston Airports is building a new international terminal and modernizing Bush Airport to further cement Houston as global city. Once substantially completed in late 2024, it will be among the most modern international terminals in the U.S. The IAH Terminal Redevelopment Program, also known as ITRP, is the largest expansion program in the 53-year history of Bush Airport and builds on a series of previous renovation programs.

The ITRP effort was undertaken to develop additional facilities in support of aging infrastructure and unprecedented growth in international traffic at Bush Airport. The program will support international flight operations for United Airlines and more than a dozen foreign flag carriers. Additional international gates will accommodate continued international airline growth and larger, widebody aircraft.

The program will improve current and future roadway and curbside capacity constraints in the central terminal area, improve baggage handling system capacity and reliability challenges, and significantly improve the overall guest experience for every international passenger.

Please be assured that Houston Airports is doing everything possible to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for all passengers. We have increased our staff levels, implemented new traffic flow measures and are working closely with our law enforcement partners to minimize delays and congestion at the terminal curbsides.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation. With our recommendations and by working together, we hope you enjoy your next visit to Bush Airport.

Severe weather continues, triggering Flood Advisory in Houston and surrounding areas Sunday

A BC13 continues the extensive coverage of heavy rain patterns in northern counties since Tuesday, bringing flooding to "Hurricane Harvey" levels.

Sunday was declared an ABC13 Weather Alert Day as another round of intense storms were headed to the city and surrounding areas, which triggered a Flood Advisory until 1 p.m.

RELATED: Flood Advisory issued for Houston area through 1:00, Flood Watch remains through 7:00

ABC13's reporter Rosie Nguyen was out on the roads on Sunday to survey the conditions of the roads. Due to high waters, there have been several road closures to ensure drivers' safety.

Recently, the Monmouth Street exit on the East Freeway on I-10 in the Channelview area.

In a photo posted on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, the roadway is completely submerged, and the water is nearly the same height as the road signs.

Precinct 4 urges those driving to be cautious of flooded roadways in the Atascocita area. Earlier in the day, Harris County's Office of Emergency Management sent out a post warning residents of places that are expected to flood during Sunday's thunderstorms and where flooding is possible.

So far, many areas have experienced heavy flooding after days of consecutive rain. ABC13's SkyEye captured rescue boats on Saturday in Channelview.

Judge Lina Hidalgo held a press conference just before she surveyed the damage in Channelview and Kingwood, which has been inundated with floodwater since the beginning of the week.

"It's a bit of a Russian roulette with these areas. Because, you know, wherever they get rain, wherever the river, the water comes down the river, that's where they'll see the impact," Hidalgo said.

RELATED: Rain stops Saturday after several days, but San Jacinto River rising still a worry in Kingwood area

According to Harris County's OEM, 224 people and 153 pets have been rescued since Tuesday evening.

While no major injuries have been reported due to the significant flooding, several people have been displaced due to the rising levels of the San Jacinto River.

SEE ALSO: Where is the San Jacinto River normally? ABC13 looks into inundation maps to look at rising levels

On Friday, officials said the river would crest and overflow into neighborhoods because of additional rain. Residents were urged to evacuate on Thursday amid imminent rain bringing submerged roadways.

The average level of the river is generally at 45 feet. However, it rose to 55 feet.

Officials confirmed that it did not rise to the expected 61 feet and have begun to rescind, but it remains unclear how long it will take.

As Rains Lash Southeast Texas, Residents Brace for More Flooding

Several counties were under flood warnings in the Houston area and other parts of Southeast Texas on Friday.

By Christine Hauser

Schools were closed, roads were flooded and residents were told to evacuate as heavy rain continued to lash the Houston area and other parts of Southeast Texas on Friday, placing thousands of people under flood warnings.

Flood warnings were issued on Friday for a large section of southeast Texas, including suburbs near Houston, through Saturday morning.

The prospect of more rain came after Judge Lina Hidalgo of Harris County issued a disaster declaration on Thursday as the San Jacinto River, on the outskirts of Houston, continued to rise.

People in neighborhoods near the east fork of the river were ordered to evacuate.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez of Harris County said on social media that neighborhoods near the San Jacinto River could see dangerous flooding.

“Structures on the ground will be flooded to rooftop levels,” Sheriff Gonzalez said. “Elevated structures will be flooded. The rapid rise, of many feet, is expected late today into Saturday.”

On Friday, Harris County’s top executive, Ms. Hidalgo, repeated the mandatory evacuation notice for residents half a mile from the river and to the east, saying they were “extremely vulnerable,” with a few hundred structures at risk of flooding.

“This threat is ongoing and it is going to get worse,” she said at a news conference on Friday.

Up to 15 people overnight and 11 people on Thursday had been rescued from flooded vehicles or homes, she said.

Mark Sloan, the Harris County homeland security and emergency management coordinator, said at the news conference that law enforcement officials and emergency workers would be put at risk if people did not evacuate as told. Several school districts were closed, Ms. Hidalgo said.

Mayor John Whitmire of Houston said at a news conference on Friday afternoon that those in low-lying areas should evacuate before flooding worsens overnight. “Do not wait till it’s too late,” he said.

Damaging winds, possible hail and isolated tornadoes were possible, forecasters in the Houston area said .

Some parts of the Houston area had recorded up to 5 inches of rain between Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon, Tim Cady, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Houston said, adding that more rain was expected this weekend.

A lull in the rain was expected on Friday night, but more thunderstorms in the Houston area could bring up to 3 inches or more on Saturday into Sunday, Mr. Cady said. The additional rain could create flooding, Mr. Cady said.

“With all the rain we’ve gotten in the past week, it’s not going to take much new rainfall to see some flash flooding because the soil just can’t take any more,” he said.

There was a risk of excessive rainfall through Saturday morning, stretching from West Texas to the Gulf Coast and into the Tennessee Valley, the National Weather Service said.

Judson Jones and Jesus Jiménez contributed reporting.

Child dies after being swept away in floodwaters; storms move away from Texas

HOUSTON — Storms in Texas brought additional rain Sunday to the already saturated Houston area where hundreds of people have been rescued from flooded homes and roads, while to the north in the Fort Worth area, a child died after being swept away when the car he was traveling in got stuck in floodwaters.

Over the last week, areas near Lake Livingston, located northeast of Houston, have gotten upwards of 23 inches of rain, National Weather Service meteorologist Jimmy Fowler said Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, he said, areas in northeastern Harris County, the nation’s third-largest county that includes Houston, had a range of 6 inches to almost 17 inches of rain in that same period.

Scattered showers in the Houston area on Sunday brought light to moderate rainfall, he said.

“With the rainfall that fell overnight plus this morning it just kind of prolonged the river flooding that we were experiencing,” Fowler said.

He said the rain would taper off in the evening, with no heavy rain events expected in the next week or so.

Child dies in floodwaters

In Johnson County, located south of Fort Worth, a 5-year-old boy died when he was swept away after the vehicle he was riding in became stuck in swift-moving water near the community of Lillian just before 2 a.m. Sunday, an official said.

The child and two adults were trying to get to dry ground when they were swept away, Jamie Moore, the Johnson County Emergency Management director, wrote in a Facebook post.

The two adults were rescued around 5 a.m. and taken to a hospital, while the child was found dead around 7:20 a.m. in the water, Moore said.

Storms brought as 9 inches of rain in a span of six to eight hours in some areas from central Texas to the Dallas-Fort Worth area overnight, said National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Stalley. He said the rains washed out some roads west of Waco.

Houston-area river levels

Over the last few days, storms have forced numerous high-water rescues in the Houston area, including some from the rooftops of flooded homes.

Jeff Lindner, a meteorologist with the Harris County Flood Control District, said Sunday afternoon that “things are improving slowly.”

“We have water going down on our river systems,” said Lindner. The San Jacinto River crested on Saturday, with its east and west forks and main stem below Lake Houston falling from 1 foot to 3 feet overnight. he said.

Lindner said that so far, Sunday’s additional rain did not seem to be causing any new flooding. He urged people to still be cautious, noting that many areas are still flooded.

“We really need everybody to give it just another day before we feel comfortable that conditions are safe,” Lindner said.

Greg Moss, 68, was staying put in his recreational vehicle on Sunday after leaving his home in the community of Channelview in eastern Harris County near the San Jacinto River. On Saturday, he packed up many of his belongings and left before the road to his home flooded.

“I would be stuck for four days,” Moss said. “So now at least I can go get something to eat.”

Moss moved his belongings and vehicle to a neighbor’s home, where planned to stay until the waters recede. He said Sunday that the floodwaters had already gone down by a couple of feet and that he wasn’t worried his home would flood because it’s located on higher ground.

“It’ll be OK to go in there in the morning,” he said.

Houston prone to flooding

Houston is one of the most flood-prone metro areas in the country. The city of more than 2 million people has long experience dealing with devastating weather.

Hurricane Harvey in 2017 dumped historic rainfall that flooded thousands of homes and resulted in more than 60,000 rescues by government personnel across Harris County.

The greater Houston area covers about 10,000 square miles, a footprint slightly bigger than New Jersey. It is crisscrossed by about 1,700 miles of channels, creeks and bayous draining into the Gulf of Mexico, about 50 miles southeast of downtown.

The system of bayous and reservoirs was built to drain heavy rains, but the engineering initially designed nearly 100 years ago has struggled to keep up with the city’s growth and bigger storms.

Evacuee forced to leave family dog behind is among flood emergency faces

Consecutive days of rain aren't unusual in southeast Texas. After all, Hurricane Harvey in 2017 changed the region forever.

So, when neighbors north and east of Houston faced rising water levels in the San Jacinto and Trinity rivers, many expressed to ABC13 that they could get through this.

On Friday, those residents in places like Conroe, Kingwood, northern Liberty County, and River Plantation essentially said the same thing: We've never seen anything like this.

The video above is the ABC13 Houston's 24/7 Streaming Channel.

Eyewitness News traveled to those communities as neighbors made sudden exits from their homes and lamented what they left behind, including, in one instance, the heartbreaking decision involving a family pet.

ABC13 also spoke to a few of the rescuers who jumped into action during Harvey and did it again during these desperate times.

Heartbreaking decision

ABC13's Mycah Hatfield reported from Plum Grove in Liberty County, where boats were launched to evacuate stranded families.

Nicole Rose, among the evacuees, explained she and her family had to make a tough decision about their Great Dane named Mya, who's pregnant with pups.

With the family and five other dogs already evacuated, Rose's husband canoed back to their home to retrieve Mya before the flood took over, but she said the canine was too heavy to make it on the vessel.

Rescue crews also went back but couldn't find Mya.

"It's kind of surreal and heartbreaking to know that us and our four kids have lost basically everything at this point," Rose said.

But there's a happy ending amid the tragedy. Rose told ABC13 that she and her husband went back out, broke a window to get inside their house, and found Mya alive. They plan to return on Saturday, but she said Mya is safe inside a bed for the night.

Have drone, will travel

ABC13's Adam Winkler set out for River Plantation in Montgomery County, a subdivision nestled next to the West Fork of the San Jacinto River.

It was there that Winkler met with a drone operator, whose father was driven out of that neighborhood. The drone operator said he used a canoe to rescue people during Harvey, but this time around, the remote-operated craft proved to be useful to his neighbors, desperate to know if their homes are safe as they wait out the flood.

Staying in Montgomery County, ABC13's Pooja Lodhia went out to Porter for a harrowing survival story.

Amid the rainfall on Friday, Destiny Deacon and her three kids woke up to a loud bang that turned out to be something a lot dangerous if they were in a different position - a large oak tree crashing into their home.

Deacon said the tree missed her kids' room.

"I'm grateful that nobody was hurt. It's a blessing," she said.

There was a lot more to Deacon's story. Just the day before disaster, she announced to friends and family that she has a baby boy on the way.

Rescued but grief-stricken

ABC13's Jiovanni Lieggi headed to Dolen, a small community about 50 yards from the Trinity River in northern Liberty County.

Entire homes were covered in water, washing away livelihoods in just hours.

Crews reached Linda Young, a retiree who escaped with just the few things she could place in bags and her two dogs.

While she made it out alive, Young was in tears. Not only did she say that she doesn't hold coverage for her home due to her fixed income, she likely lost an irreplaceable gift.

"I left a hand-sewn cape that my mother made for me, and I didn't meet my mother until my 40s," Young explained in tears. "She had made it for me and I had to leave it. I left things I had for all my life, too."

A holdout's regret

The question being asked during nightfall: did people heed officials' warnings to get out?

In the Humble area on North Houston Avenue near the Kingwood line, ABC13's Brooke Taylor witnessed several people getting rescued.

The concrete road connecting the bridge to the homes was underwater. There was no way out other than boat.

One man told ABC13 he wasn't going to evacuate, but he immediately regretted it and realized he made the wrong decision. Then, he saw rescuers outside his home helping his neighbors and knew he had to leave.

When experience helps

Southeast of River Plantation is the small community of Woodloch, where ABC13's Jessica Willey caught up with Kaden Blackburn.

He and his family live in the second to last house on River Ridge just 300 yards from the San Jacinto River.

Their backyard is completely submerged, and water from the rising river has crept into their living room. They have lived through the worst floods.

This time, Kaden said, they had more warning and were able to move out their furniture just in time. There's a point, he said, when he knows it's time for him to go, too.

"When it comes up to here is when it goes to the front of the road," he said, pointing to a spot on the doorway. "We can get trapped in here real easy."

National headline

While no major injuries or deaths have come out in the emergency's early stages, the disaster's grand scale is too hard to ignore.

As part of World News Tonight, Matt Gutman , ABC News' chief national correspondent, arrived in Cleveland, Texas, where he said neighborhoods took on inches of water in just a short amount of time.

Gutman spoke with ABC13 anchors Erik Barajas and Elissa Rivas during Eyewitness News at 6 p.m. on Friday.

WEATHER ALERT

9 warnings and an advisory in effect for 15 regions in the area

More rain expected for areas already underwater on sunday in the houston area, heavy rainfall could lead to flooding today into sunday..

Caroline Brown , Meteorologist

Flood Watch:

The National Weather Service has extended the flood watch for SE Texas through Sunday 7 PM. We have the potential for another 1-3″ of rainfall some areas could pick up closer to 8″ Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Excessive runoff is creating additional rises in rivers, creeks and streams. Those who live in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action if flooding should develop. Please stay weather aware.

Localized heavy rainfall with high risk of excessive rainfall for Houston metro area to Huntsville eastward.

Several rivers are flooding including the Trinity River, San Jacinto River, and Brazos River (Navasota/Normangee). There are other rivers that are flooding too. You can see our stream status below, or check out our Flood Tracker. Avoid parking along streams, rivers and creeks. Never drive around a barrier.

Please be careful with the high water. Not only can you be swept away, but floodwaters also hide dangers that can cause sickness, injury or even death! Do not let children play in floodwaters!

Saturday Night:

Saturday night the atmosphere is bringing in some spotty showers and thunderstorms across SE Texas.

Sunday’s forecast:

We have the potential for two more rounds of thunderstorms Sunday. The first round is expected to move through Sunday morning bringing lightning and heavy downpours.

6 AM Sunday:

9 AM Sunday:

12 PM Sunday:

The second round will move through Sunday afternoon with rain finally coming to end Sunday night.

6 PM on Sunday

9 PM on Sunday

Estimated rainfall totals from now until Sunday 7 PM:

Rainfall totals will be dependent on where the heaviest bands set up but overall most areas could see 1 to 3 " but there will be locally heavier amounts up to 8″ in some spots.

10-Day Forecast:

Next week we head into a hotter weather pattern with our first 90° day of the year expected. There is also the possibility of a cool front moving through Friday. That would bring in dry air (low humidity) and a slightly lower temperature.
