Thankfully, it's a weak Category 1, not a devastating one like Rita.

Have no fear, camille65....I live in NW Houston and I was up till after 4 am today and nothing much happened during that time.  If we had any wind or rain from Humberto from 4 to 6:30 am, it wasn't enough to wake me up

Status: offline 		Just as general info for camille and any other interested ...

Hurricane Humberto was a Category 1 storm and barely made that before he made landfall a little bit east of High Island, Texas at about 2:00 a.m. this morning.  Highest sustained winds were about 80mph but the storm is very compact and those winds extended only about 15 miles out.  The storm is moving on a northeasterly track at about 7 mph.  The storm has passed over southeast Texas and is now moving through Louisiana. 

A 70-year-old Bridge City man died when his carport collapsed on him.  One family still residing in a FEMA trailer from Hurricane Rita two years ago was inside their home when high winds blew the trailer over.  Approximately 100,000 people are without power over the area.  It could be as long as two days for some to have power restored.  Most schools in the area have been closed, including Lamar University.  Beaumont city officials are asking that people stay inside and don't venture out unless it is absolutely necessary.  There are power lines and trees down and flood waters are not receeding as quickly as officials would like.

Lousiana's govenor has declared a state of emergency.  The Lake Charles Civic Center has been made available as a shelter for those who may need escape possible flooding or power outages.  Vermillion Parish has made sandbags available.

It's hot!

Seriously, glad to hear you’re okay. It may have been a category one but any hurricane is nothing to sneeze at.

Status: offline 		I appreciate the good thoughts, feastie, Marc, cyndi, thorn, FC, Rich, dark, seeks, & camille. The storm is on record as being the fastest developing hurricane, I think.... went from a tropical depression to a hurricane in less than 18 hours. We still don't have AC , but it could be much worse.
