 Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Tropicals producing flood-generating rainfall and damaging wind gusts over eastern Texas, but it is losing strength. The National Hurricane Center reports the storm's top sustained winds have dropped to 65 miles per hour. It made landfall early this morning near Matagorda Bay, Texas, as a Category 1 hurricane. Houston Mayor John Whitmire urged residents to stay off the roads earlier today. Shelter in place. We're in an emergency.
