To find out, host Baylee Friday spoke to Denton County Emergency Management Director Eric Hutmacher, Alliance AFT President Rena Honea, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Texas A&M Ali Mostafavi, professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech Ali Nejat, and of course the weather expert, KRLD Chief Meteorologist Dan Brounoff.
