Tropical Storm Cindy expected to hit Texas-Louisiana border overnight

Tropical Storm Cindy is expected to hit the Gulf Coast overnight and bring with it gusty winds, heavy rain and some flooding through Thursday night.

Cindy, which originated earlier this week in the Yucatan Peninsula, is expected to land along the Texas-Louisiana border between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. It was named Tuesday.

The storm was moving northwest Wednesday morning across the Gulf with maximum winds of 60 miles per hour.

Tropical storm warnings remain in effect for Harris, Chambers, Galveston and Liberty Counties and across southern Louisiana, according to the National Weather Service.

For those people along the coast, be prepared in case you lose electrical power. If you have to evacuate because of flooding, don't forget to bring a towel because you never know where storm shelter towels have been.
