ATL: Tropical Depression Edouard

[canetracker]

According to all radar views it certaintly looks like its coming in right at La/Tx border

[greg_kfdm_tv]

The center is now coming onshore just east of Sabine Pass. Our weather station in Sabine Pass has winds which have backed to northerly at about 30-45 mph during the past 15 minutes. Pressure 29.45".

Rain starting to intensify as it enters Harris County. Looks like NE Houston is in for some rough weather.

[wxman57]

Yep, it's inland now.

[Diva]

I really wish these things would stop sneaking in during the dark! Rita, Humberto and now Edouard all made landfall before sunrise. I like to see what's coming at me!

[paintplaye]

Yep, it's inland now.

xwman57 looks like you will not have to water your grass Also looks like some pretty good storms coming into Houston and Galveston. Haha who would of expected that.

[dwg71]

we need the rain, really is best case for houston/galv

[mpic]

Wind just started picking up here...kind of gusty as opposed to sustained. I am about 20 miles north of Galeston.

[canetracker]

Local reporter just reported 50mph sustained in Cameron Parish, gusting to 60mph with lot of power outages.

[Jagno]

I don't post often but for all those just yesterday and throughout the night who were downright rude about this definitely NOT even possibly being a LA landfall you need to realize that Mother Nature and the Gulf of Mexico doesn't play by your rules. Many of us have lived here all of our lives and it is very common for storms to take that "right" jog for some reason. I respect others opinions but some were downright abrasive. Rant over.

I guess if this was going to be a LA system I'll take Ed and pray that this is the worst will see in 08.

NHC kept saying a TX/LA impact was possible and kept us in the cone the entire time so I feel they did a fairly good job.

Yeah, looks like it peaked out with maximum sustained winds near 70mph. They just found 59kt to 62kt winds from the SMFR, occuring the thunderstorms in SW Quad.

[canetracker]

Stay safe Jagno. The NHC did a great job with the cone but also with the watch and warnings.

[lebron23]

what rain and wind will i have to deal with in missouri city

[Sjones]

NHC had landfall pretty much set at Galveston, but yet again, we got landfall east of that...Same story with Humberto

[dwg71]

it will be squally in mo city, nothing to be concerned with.

[Smurfwicked]

anybody want to monitor the power outages as well when its expected to be restored:

I don't see where it says when it'll be restored, but the news channel reported that you can find it on there :s

I was getting some pretty good gust earlier here in N. BMT but most of that has died down for now.

[Nederlander]

I did say that I would be very surprised if it even made it as far west as Sabine Pass, but it definitely was farther east than I thought... looks like from the latest radar that the center of circulation is splitting the border and going right up sabine lake...

[Jagno]

Wow, our local met has no clue that this system is coming ashore. I'm always shocked that a couple of our KPLC mets really came out of met school. Our electricity is still spotty with alot of blinking going on. Starting to feel like a disco. LOL

Nederlander; just as Rita did it seems. Okay, so we like sharing with our neighbors.

[greg_kfdm_tv]

The western half of the center is right over Sabine Pass. Winds are less than 12 mph with a pressure of 29.44" currently at Sabine Pass School.

Do we expect this thing to get worse for Beaumont as far as wind/rain as this thing makes it's track wnw. Has not done much here in Lumberton. I have seen stronger afternoon thunder showers.
