 Along with the high winds, a major concern is the storm surge, which is affecting some 200 miles of coastline from Port Aransas to Galveston. With landfall, barrels expected now to lose strength, make a northeast turn, and pick up speed. Flash flooding will be a major concern as it moves into east Texas. The storm is bringing 5 to 10 inches of rain, with accumulations as high as 15 inches.
