Texas bracing for possible hit by Edouard
Tropical Storm Edouard is expected to pick up strength over the warm Gulf of Mexico waters before its projected landfall along the upper Texas coast or southwest Louisiana Tuesday morning, the Associated Press reports.
The storm’s projected path can be seen at our storm center link.
It could reach near-hurricane speeds over the next 24 hours.
Emergency teams were activated as Gulf residents prepared for a second strong storm in less than a month, although Edouard is forecast to hit a different stretch of the Texas coast or Louisiana than Hurricane Dolly did last month.
Rudy Guidry of Grand Isle, on the Louisiana coast south of New Orleans, was on his father’s houseboat this morning making it a bit more secure than usual. “We’re on the water right now. Just putting on extra lines in case it comes up,” he said.
