Edouard Remnants Bring More Rain as 30K Remain Without Power
US · Published Sep 3, 2026
Remnants of Tropical Depression Edouard are bringing more heavy rain and flash flooding to East and North Texas, with more than 30,000 customers still without power.
A life-threatening Flash Flood Emergency was issued for parts of Hardin and Tyler counties after intense rainfall, while more than 2 feet of rain has fallen in parts of Polk County since Monday.

Why It's Important?

The ongoing severe weather poses significant risks to the residents of East and North Texas. The life-threatening flash floods can inundate roads, making travel treacherous and potentially isolating communities. The extended power outages disrupt daily life, affecting essential services like communication, heating, and cooling, and posing challenges for vulnerable populations. For those in Hardin, Tyler, and Polk counties, the sheer volume of rainfall presents a direct threat of property damage and displacement. The persistence of heavy rain through Thursday means that the risk of further flooding and continued power disruptions remains high, necessitating constant vigilance and adherence to safety advisories from local authorities. This event highlights the destructive potential of tropical system remnants and the importance of robust emergency preparedness and response systems.
