HURRICANE HUMBERTO HITS TEXAS!
Hurricane Humberto made landfall early this morning, yes...I did say Hurricane Humberto. Right before landfall Tropical Storm Humberto increased strength to a Category 1 hurricane. Chief Meteorologist Drew Michaels mentioned this possibility during his 10pm weathercast. The eye made landfall just East of High Island, Texas at 3:00 AM (2:00 AM local). He brought torrential rainfall along with max wind speeds of 85 mph. His wind gusts definitely packed a punch gusting to 105 mph. Now he won't hit us directly, but he will send some moisture our way over the next several hours. A cold front swings through Friday and pushes him more Southeast. He could possibly move back into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and re-strengthen. That is something that will be watched very closely over the weekend.
