To the average person seeing the world every day, the meaning of a color isn’t something to consider, but on one blissful morning people from all walks of life represented the color pink for its own unique meaning. On Oct. 22, the streets of Irving flooded with pink for the return of the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk to raise awareness for breast cancer and fund a search for a cure.
“When we were here in 2018, this place was not full. There were not students waiting outside the door who could not get in,” Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke said. “And here it’s what’s different. It’s the same candidate, so I know it’s not about me. I’m in the same political party, I know it’s not about the party. And by the way, Republican, Democrat, Independent, no me importa. The differences between us do not matter.”
In an auditorium full of emotions and people, O’Rourke visited Dallas College at the El Centro Campus on Oct. 3. The Democrat challenging Republican incumbent Greg Abbott was invited by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) club.

Summer mostly remained dry for the entirety of the region of North Texas. The regular feeling of a dry and arid day was changed completely with torrential downpours and flooding across the Metroplex. On Aug. 18, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth said a change in the weather was going to happen the next week with rain expected from Sunday night to Tuesday afternoon.
Even though the region is known for dealing with tornadoes and thunderstorms, the flooding seen throughout the city of Dallas was unlike past events.
Due to inclement weather, all Dallas College locations closed at 4 p.m. today and will remain closed through Thursday, Feb. 24. Regular operations are scheduled to resume on Friday.
The National Weather Service has been anticipating winter weather since Feb. 18, but was uncertain what would be the exact impact and timing. By Feb. 23, the weather service placed a winter weather advisory for most of the region. On the evening of Feb. 22 , most of the Metroplex was placed under a winter weather warning.
The winter weather warning is in effect until 6 p.m. Feb 24.
