Historic drought conditions are fueling the largest algae bloom in more than a decade along the Texas Gulf Coast, killing fish, sparking warnings about beach conditions and making throats scratchy. It's a natural occurrence and not much people can do about it.
Cameron County health department warned people with respiratory illnesses, including asthma, to avoid South Padre Island and Boca Chica beach Sunday until further notice. The last red tide along the Texas coast was 2009.
A day at the beach in South Padre Island was not for the faint of heart this weekend. As soon as the car door opened the tickle in the back of the throat began, followed by a cough.
