The Hindu
The storm is projected to move slowly up the coastland which could dump torrential amounts of rain over several days
Tropical Storm Nicholas headed toward the Texas coast on the night of September 12, threatening to bring heavy rain and floods to coastal areas of Texas, Mexico and storm-battered Louisiana. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said a hurricane watch was issued for the central portion of the Texas coast with much of the State's coastline now under a tropical storm warning. Nicholas is expected to approach the middle Texas coast late September 13 and could bring heavy rain that could cause flash floods and urban flooding. Nicholas over several days is expected to produce total rainfall of up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) in Texas and southwest Louisiana, with isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches (50 centimeters), across portions of coastal Texas beginning the night of September 12 through midweek.
