Floodlines: Texas Braces for the Worst as Edouard's Deluge Looms Large The Gulf Coast is no stranger to torrential downpours, but Tropical Storm Edouard's latest onslaught has raised concerns that this year's storm season may be more menacing than initially thought.
The National Weather Service's flash flood warning system has been activated in response to the unprecedented amounts of water dumped by Edouard on southeast Texas.
Hardin and Tyler counties are currently bearing the brunt of the storm, with 10 to 21 inches of rain accumulated in just a few hours. This is more than many areas typically see in an entire month, let alone in one day.
