“This is 2020 and so we have to expect the unexpected,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.
Beta was churning slowly through the Gulf of Mexico on Monday morning about 110 miles south of Galveston, and 95 miles east-southeast of Port O’Connor, Texas, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner on Sunday said while Beta was not expected to bring rain like Harvey, he cautioned residents to “be weather alert.” In Victoria County, about 120 miles southwest of Houston, officials asked residents to prepare for up to 10 to 15 inches of rain. Beta is forecast to dump heavy rain on the southwestern corner of Louisiana three weeks after the same area got pounded by Hurricane Laura. More than 41,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity, and Beta could add to that figure by toppling trees that were left leaning by the previous storm, said meteorologist Donald Jones of the National Weather Service office in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
