Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Humberto dumps rain in Texas, Louisiana by Notme dfsfs

The first hurricane that hit U.S. since 2005 grew from a tropical depression to full-scale hurricane landfall in just sixteen hours. Hurricane Humberto landed in Texas Louisiana coast with winds of 85 mph and heavy rain.Until Wednesday afternoon, Humberto wasn't even a tropical storm then it strengthened with winds of 35 mph and soon became a hurricane with 85 mph."Before Humberto developed, you looked at the satellite imagery the day before, and there was virtually nothing there. This really spun up out of thin air, very, very quickly," said National Hurricane Center specialist James Franklin in Miami. "We've never had any tropical cyclone go from where Humberto was to where Humberto got."At least one person was killed when his house collapsed on him and at least 100.000 customers Beaumont and Port Arthur were without power and in Louisiana at least 13.000 houses were flooded.The Governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco declared state of emergency: "I also want our people to be prepared, as this storm serves as another reminder of how quickly storms can form."The Governor of Texas, Rick Perry declared three southeast Texas counties disaster areas: "Texans in Jefferson, Orange and Galveston Counties can rest assured that we have deployed the necessary resources to help them recover from the devastation resulting from this storm," he said.
