Coverage is heavier in Texas media, of course. It's a story of less interest elsewhere. One person died, apparently. Often, stories like this take a day or two to show up in national media. The wire services, though, have it, so there should be some coverage today in some national outlets.

Still, it's more of a local story, really, given all the huge stories that are being covered constantly.
