SUMMARY: Hurricane Barrel has caused severe damage in Southeast Texas, leading to one death north of Houston due to a fallen tree. The storm, which hit as a Category 1 hurricane near Matagorda Beach early this morning, has resulted in flash flooding, lightning, and wind gusts between 60-80 mph in Houston. Over a million people are without power, and numerous flights have been canceled. The situation is dire with extensive tree and property damage, and the city essentially shut down. Cleanup is expected to take days or weeks, but sunny skies are anticipated for tomorrow, allowing recovery efforts to begin.

SUMMARY: A severe storm named Barrel is impacting areas near Houston with tornado warnings issued east of Liberty. Earlier, Galveston experienced a tornado and a 94 mph wind gust around Freeport. Although the storm's eye is beginning to fill in, it remains strong, moving north towards Houston's western suburbs. Unexpectedly, four days ago, no computer models predicted this path. Those models serve as guidance, not absolute truth. The storm is projected to track into East Texas and the Arklatex, avoiding our area but bringing significant rainfall, with 6-10 inches already near the coast and heavy rain extending to regions like Palestine and Red River County.
