Good morning dallas Today is August 28th.

Today is also a sad anniversary for fans and friends of the native Dallas and Blues legend Stevie Ray Vaughanwho died in a helicopter crash that day in 1990. We asked some to reminisce.
And finally, let’s get one rumor out of the way: This Anti-parasite drug for farm animals does not work on people suffering from COVID-19.
The weather today: Wet all day. High: 92, low: 75.
