Edouard, Probably

Final scores

Potential Tropical Cyclone Five is about to walk into Texas and dump on Houston. Maybe as Edouard. Maybe as a nameless depression that nobody respects. Call the landfall day, the landfall hour, the gusts at Galveston, and the rain totals from Port Arthur to Lake Charles. Meteorologists get paid to miss these. You get to miss them for free. 100% free, no buy-ins, no catches.
