Tropical Storm Edouard is forecast to make landfall along the Upper Texas Coast early this afternoon, Tuesday, September 1. Forecasters expect a significant rain event for the Houston area starting this afternoon, bringing heavy downpours, potential street flooding, and gusty winds that will continue into Wednesday.
Because weather conditions can deteriorate quickly as tropical rain bands move inland, our district stresses the importance of finalizing your preparations immediately. We encourage all residents to regularly monitor local news channels and official updates from the National Weather Service (NWS).
To ensure your home and family are ready before the heaviest rainfall arrives, please take these safety precautions now:
Secure Property: Secure outdoor furniture, trash cans, and loose yard equipment that could be blown around by gusty winds.
Stock Essential Supplies: Verify your emergency kit has functional flashlights, fresh batteries, first aid supplies, and fully charged mobile devices in case of localized power outages.
Avoid Travel During Peak Heavy Rain: If you must be on the road this afternoon, exercise extreme caution. Never drive through flooded roadways—turn around, don't drown.
