Good morning, Waco.

During the freeze on Monday, several local spots stayed open when most businesses closed for safety.

Waco Waffle Company and George’s in Hewitt kept their doors open — prioritizing community access and support for their staff.

Freezing temperatures have kept local warming shelters busy with nearly 50 people sheltered nightly; The Salvation Army & Mission Waco are working with community partners to meet demand and expect more guests tonight as the cold persists.

Waco Independent School District named a new teacher to lead the Waco High School One-Act Play team this spring following the suspension of two theater teachers earlier this month.

After winter weather moved through Texas, experts warn that hidden water damage and pipe issues may affect homes—residents should inspect for leaks, stains, and warped floors and call reputable professionals when needed.
