00:00A day after tropical storm, Edward slammed into the Texas-Louisiana border.
00:04The flooding threat is far from over.
00:06A flood watch remains in effect across southeast Texas through Wednesday evening,
00:11with forecasters warning that rain bands from the storm's remnants
00:14are still capable of dumping torrential downpours.
00:17The National Weather Service in Houston says 3 to 6 inches of rain are possible,
00:22with isolated pockets seeing as much as 10 to 15 inches along and east of Interstate 45.
00:28That kind of rainfall rate, up to 4 inches an hour in the heaviest storms,
00:33raises the risk of considerable flash flooding in urban and low-lying areas.
00:37Edward made landfall near Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, with sustained winds of 60 miles per hour,
00:43knocking out power to tens of thousands of customers across Texas.
00:47Crews are still working to restore electricity as the storm's leftover moisture continues to soak the region.
00:53Officials are urging residents in Harris, Montgomery,
00:56and Chambers counties to avoid flooded roadways, as the threat continues into Wednesday.
