 With SRN News, I'm Ron Taylor. Officials in Texas are telling coastal residents to expect power outages and floods as Barrel was forecast to potentially regain hurricane strength before making landfall early this morning. The outer bands of Barrel began lashing communities along the Texas shoreline yesterday, bringing rain and intensifying winds. The storm was projected to make landfall in an area near Matagorda Bay about 100 miles south of Houston, but officials warned the path could still change.
