What is left of Edouard is now a tropical depression located over northern Robertson County, moving toward the west-northwest at 10mph. The track of the system will take it across Central Texas overnight. Locally heavy rain may develop near the core of the system, but the widespread beneficial rainfall earlier predicted now seems unlikely.

Tropical Storm Edouard hit the Gulf Coast just east of Galveston with strong winds and heavy rain, but the storm did little more than soak the travelers who came to relax on the tourist town's beaches.

Edouard made landfall over a stretch of coast east of Galveston and west of the Louisiana border, between the small coastal town of High Island and Sabine Pass.

Strong winds and horizontal rain hit the Bolivar Peninsula, a thin strip of land northeast of Galveston that separates Galveston Bay from the Gulf of Mexico. The area is dotted with beach houses and patches of trees.

Some homes and businesses in the small peninsula town of Crystal Beach were boarded up early Tuesday and some street lights were out, but there were no apparent signs of serious damage.

In Galveston, a few surfers were in the water and some people were riding bikes alongside the beach as the heavy rains approached.
