Tropical Storm Edouard Heads for Texas | Lubbock News

Tropical Storm Edouard is poised to intensify into a hurricane before slamming into Texas and Louisiana by September 1, bringing torrential rain, powerful winds, and potential flooding. Already the fifth named storm of the season, it’s fueled by unusually warm Gulf waters and could dump up to nine inches in some areas. A hurricane watch is now in effect, warning of damaging winds, downed trees, and power outages—especially as it makes landfall. While it will weaken quickly after moving inland, the initial impact could be severe. If you’re in the path, stay alert and prepare now.
