September 10, 2010 - Tropical Storm Hermine (10L) over Texas
Tweet
The dense, apostrophe-shaped center of Tropical Storm Hermine swirls to the south and east of San Antonio, Texas while the storm’s broad, curved rain bands blanket the southeastern part of the state, including the entire coast from Mexico to Louisiana. This true-color image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Terra satellite as it passed overhead on September 7, 2010.
Tropical Storm Hermine made landfall in northeastern Mexico on the evening of September 6, 2010, packing maximum sustained winds up to 65 mph (100 km/hr). Tropical storm force winds extended outwards more than 100 miles (165 km), primarily to the northeast of the storm’s center. It crawled slowly northward, bringing heavy rains, strong winds, downed trees, power outages and flooding to Texas. There were also reports of damaged homes and landslides in northeastern Mexico.
Tropical Storm Hermine arrived near La Pesca, Mexico, almost at the same spot where Hurricane Alex made landfall on June 30, 2010. According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Alex arrived as a Category 2 Hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (165 km/hr). It plunged southward, leaving at least 12 people dead in flooding in Mexico.
On September 5, 2010, Tropical Storm Hermine began as Tropical Depression 10 about 270 mi (435 km) southeast of La Pesca, in the extreme southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storm warnings were immediately issued for the coast of Mexico from Tampico to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The depression quickly strengthened to Tropical Storm strength, and made landfall 24 hours after it first began.
