Hanna, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2020, slammed into the coast of coronavirus-hit Texas on Saturday, bringing heavy rain, storm surge and potentially life-threatening flash flooding.
This RAMMB/NOAA satellite image obtained on June 25, 2020 shows Hurricane Hanna in the Gulf of Mexico.
“Life-threatening storm surge” could potentially reach 6 feet in some areas, while the hurricane was forecast to drop up to 18 inches of rain through Monday on south Texas and the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and northern Tamaulipas. Damage appeared to be limited in the immediate aftermath of Hanna’s landfall, with some isolated flooding and power outages.
Hanna was about 70 miles south of Corpus Christi when it made landfall, with the city of 325,000 home to one of Texas’s virus hotspots. Two other storm systems were churning Saturday: Pacific Hurricane Douglas, bearing down on the Hawaiian islands, and Tropical Storm Gonzalo in the Atlantic, near the Windward Islands.
