How did you sleep last night?
Did you lose power? Experience any damage?
Just after midnight, Nicholas made landfall near Matagorda Bay as a Category 1 hurricane, before being downgraded to a tropical storm as it slowly drifted northeast.
The storm knocked down powerlines in parts of Harris County and caused damage to some structures. But the region avoided many of the worst outcomes predicted on Monday.
Today, we’re assessing the impact to our region, and we’re also assessing how we prepare for and communicate extreme weather events.
Plus, we want to hear how you’re doing. What did you see? What was your experience of Nicholas?
Let’s help each other understand what we went through as a community.
