Essential Prep Steps as Edouard Threatens Texas and Louisiana with Hurricane-Force Winds

Other storms have also been developing in the Pacific Ocean, and because of this, forecasters are beginning to believe that the storm could make its presence felt in Texas later today. Right now, Texans need to prepare properly for the possibility of severe weather. We have experienced very hot summers, and rain might not seem like a possibility, but that does not mean it cannot happen.

What Is The Status of Hurricane Edouard?

Edouard was recently located about 35 kilometers south of the Texas coastal city of Port Arthur, with maximum winds reaching 50 mph. National Hurricane Center specialist Brad Reinhardt stated that the rainfall could produce some flash flooding and river flooding.

What Should Residents Do?

Governor Greg Abbott also believes that the biggest problem expected from the storm will be flooding. Residents in potentially affected areas should stay informed, monitor weather updates, and take precautions in case conditions worsen.
