Tropical Storm Hermine made landfall in South Texas yesterday, but is showing no signs of weakening, as it marches north through Central Texas, bringing rain and high winds.

The storm caused considerable flooding in the Rio Grand Valley, which was still in the process of recovering from Hurricane Alex earlier this summer. Water levels along the coast are still high, but experts say that they should recede in the next two days.

What is troubling is that the tropical storm has not degraded much at all, and continues to move north at 20 mph. Hermine is expected to degrade into a tropical depression within the next 48 hours, but is so far defying predictions.

Sustained winds are still as high as 45 mph, extending out 45 miles from the eye of the storm, which is currently in the suburbs of San Antonio. Isolated tornados are expected near the area affected by the storm.

Hermine is expected to drop 4 to 8 inches of rain across the central coast of Texas and Central Texas, with isolated rainfall up to 10 inches. Flash flood warning exist all over Texas and are expected to move as far north as Kansas as the storm moves north.

No deaths or injuries have been reported so far, and none of the refineries or oil platforms in the area have been affected by the storm.
