thursday. the bottom line with this storm is the winds will cause a little bit of damage t storm surge will cause a little bit of damage, but the flooding is life-threatening, and that s what could cause a lot of damage. we have a flash flood that goes all the way through lake charles and the coastline. isolated rain totals could be up to 20 inches. that s significant. the highest rainfall totals are possible south of houston, galveston, and toward the texas/louisiana border. we re going to deal with a 3- to 5-foot storm surge. that could cause problems. that s going to be port o connor to freeport. again, another landfall of a tropical system. it could intensify to a hurricane right before a landfall, but i don t think it s going to be a big wind storm. the biggest issue will be what the rain does. houston is so flood-prone as we ve seen in years past. bill karins, thank you very
of it, is what we start with. what clayton s been talking about, i m talking 15 to 21 inches from sergeant, texas, to freeport. look at those bands. they ve had three-inch per hour rainfall rates. now the flash flood watches extend to shreveport, louisiana. you could see six to ten inches on top of what you ve already had in the next 24 hours. then we go to humberto. just got a report in, bermuda had a 100-mile-per-hour gust. and we re watching jerry, because that will be out of bermuda s hair by tomorrow, but jerry headed, looks like towards islands, but looks like it s going to stay away. most of the computer models curve it away from the united states. all that would mean, high surf going into early next week. but you know we will be watching. david? all right, ginger, thank you. next tonight, president trump announcing new sanctions on iran, after that massive attack on oil facilities in saudi arabia. the u.s. and saudi arabia continue to point the finger at iran. and tonight,
and perhaps driving, if it s safe, the long road from west end to freeport. but it s been an absolute mess. and you know, the other silver lining, if i can use that expression, is that bahamians, we stick together by and large. there are hordes of people in nassau plus the jose andreas outfit with atlantis who are agitating to come up here as soon as we can get airport facilities operational. plus, there are other local groups like obviously our red cross, our the private relief agencies, and even private business people. for example, my wife, who s a chef and restaurateur, is clamoring to go up and help with feeding people. i mean, you ve got people whose
vessel headed to cocoa bay in t bahamas. there are no reports of injuries to passengers or crew. the ship is running with full you spoke r. p power headed to freeport. british government targeted extremist groups in connection with the killing of the soldier last week. david cameron says he will personally head up a new anti-terror task force looking into extremist activity in the uk. the body of a missing teenager has been found in san antonio, the third reported fay ality as a result of that severe flooding in south texas. the 18-year-old s body was discovered one day after he was reported missing near a local creek. two women died on saturday, a 30-year-old and a woman believed to be in her late 60s. the worst of the rainfall is now over and the national weather service expecting those flood levels to quickly fall.
