The hurricane moves northward into the state of Texas at a speed of about 0.9 meters per second. The greatest threat to infrastructure and population – heavy rainfall and storms.

American television companies broadcast live images of destruction in the settlements of Texas along the coast – fallen trees, power poles, traffic signs and traffic lights. In many areas there were flooding, parked cars are standing in the water.

As told by CNN, the mayor of Rockport, Charles Wax, whose city was right on the path of the hurricane, many private enterprises and apartment buildings were practically destroyed there. According to the Mayor, there is no information about the dead yet, but the rescuers have not yet brought the final result of the disaster consequences.
