This is what the Texas coast looks like on Sunday after Hurricane Hanna made landfall
Parts of South Texas woke up on Sunday to damaged buildings and flooded streets after Hurricane Hanna made landfall as a Category 1 storm the day before. Hanna arrived with 90 mph winds on the Texas Coast late Saturday afternoon near Port Mansfield. Some areas could see 6 to 12 inches of rain through Sunday night, though some isolated areas may get up to 18 inches of rain in total.

โWe got to go home.' Tropical Storm Hanna impacting local beaches
Brazoria county leaders closed Surfside Beach ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Hanna down the Texas coast. So we got to go home,โ said Nizar Bechnati, who was visiting the beach. We had to get out of here,โ said Abeni Ojo, who was also visiting the beach. It was much of the same at Jamaica Beach, where flags whipped in the wind and waves crashed along the shoreline. While Hannaโs target appears to be elsewhere, for now, the storm is also a reminder of how busy the hurricane season can be.
