Floods and devastation: tropical storm Nicholas threatens southern U.S. with heavy rainfall and winds

Tropical storm Nicholas was pushing up the Gulf Coast on Monday, threatening to result in heavy rain and flooding in coastal areas of Texas, Mexico and storm-hit Louisiana.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Nicholas is intensifying, creating strong winds at 95 km per hour. It was traveling north-northwest at 22 kilometers per hour on a projected route that was to travel off the coast of South Texas later on Monday, and then along the coast along the coast of south or central Texas by Monday evening.

Nicholas was located about 75 km southeast of the mouth of the Rio Grande and 325 km south of Port O'Connor, Texas, as of Monday morning.

The data was sent from Port Aransas to Freeport, Texas. Much of the state's coastline was on tropical storm warning as the storm was expected to bring heavy rain that could cause flash floods throughout the area, especially in cities.

Total rainfall is expected to be up to 10 inches 25 centimeters in Texas and southwest Louisiana, with an isolated maximum rainfall of 50 centimeters in coastal Texas from Sunday night to midweek.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the state has deployed rescue teams and resources in the Houston area and along the Gulf Coast.

«Это шторм, который может вызвать сильный дождь, а также ветер и, возможно, наводнения в различных регионах побережья Мексиканского залива. Мы настоятельно рекомендуем вам прислушиваться к местным предупреждениям о погоде», — сказал Эббот в видеообращении.

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards declared a state of emergency Sunday night ahead of a storm in a state that is still recovering from Hurricane Ida, last year's Hurricane Laura and historic flooding.

«Самая серьезная угроза для Луизианы находится в юго-западной части штата, где продолжается восстановление после урагана Лаура и майского наводнения. В этом районе возможны проливные дожди и внезапные наводнения. Однако также вероятно, что во всей южной Луизиане на этой неделе ожидается сильный дождь, в том числе в районах, недавно пострадавших от урагана Ида », — сказал Эдвардс.

The storm was expected to bring the heaviest rains west of where Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana two weeks ago. While forecasters did not expect Louisiana to be hit by strong winds again, meteorologist Bob Henson of Yale Climate Connections predicted that rains could continue to hit places where the hurricane destroyed homes, paralyzed electrical and water infrastructure, and killed at least 26 people.

«Там, где ударила Ида, на юго-востоке Луизианы может выпасть до 1 см дождя», — сказал Хенсон в электронном письме.

There are just over 110 consumers across Louisiana, according to poweroutage.us. were left without electricity at the beginning of Monday.

Meteorologist Donald Jones of the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, Louisiana predicts that the storm will slowly move up the coast, which could cause heavy rains over several days.

«Сильный дождь и внезапные наводнения представляют собой самую большую угрозу для нашего региона», — сказал он.

Although Ida had minimal impact on Lake Charles, the city suffered multiple blows in 2020 from Hurricane Laura and Hurricane Delta, a winter storm in February, and historic flooding this spring.

«Мы все еще очень разрушенный город», — сказал мэр озера Чарльз Ник Хантер.

He said the city takes the storm threat as seriously as all tropical systems do.

«Надежда и молитва — не лучший план игры», — сказал Хантер.

In Cameron County, coastal Louisiana, Scott Trahan is still completing repairs to his home, which was damaged by last year's Hurricane Laura, which left about 70cm water. He hopes to finish it by Christmas, and many people in his area have moved instead of rebuilding.

«Если тебя хлестают по заднице четыре раза, ты не сможешь снова подняться. Ты собираешься пойти куда-нибудь еще», — сказал Трэхан.

Исследователь ураганов из Университета штата Колорадо Фил Клоцбах сказал через Twitter, что Николас — 14-й по счету шторм в сезоне ураганов в Атлантике 2021 года. Только за 4 других года с 1966 г. к 12 сентября было 14 или более названных штормов: 2005, 2011, 2012 и 2020 гг.
