Texas braces as Hurricane Hanna arrives

Tropical Weather

Hurricane Hanna has roared ashore onto the Texas Gulf Coast, bringing winds that lashed the shoreline with rain and storm surge, and even threatening to bring possible tornadoes to a part of the country trying to cope with a spike in coronavirus cases.

The first hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic season made landfall at around 5pm CDT about 15 miles north of Port Mansfield. As of Saturday evening, it had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph.
