Tropical Storm Edouard Hits Texas and Louisiana, Causing Disruptions and Flooding
Tropical Storm Edouard has made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to the region. After strengthening in the Gulf, the storm is now weakening into a tropical depression but continues to dump rain across Texas, leading to significant flooding in multiple areas. School districts in the Houston area have closed as residents face power outages and hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for ongoing heavy rainfall and flash flooding, particularly in southeast Texas and parts of Louisiana. Despite the weakening of Edouard, the flood threat persists, and authorities are advising caution as the storm moves inland.
