Hurricane Hanna tears through Texas, leveling Corpus Christi marina

Hurricane Hanna became the first named Atlantic hurricane of 2020, making landfall on Texas's Padre Island and slamming the state's coast on Saturday (July 25) evening. The Category 1 storm arrived in South Texas, bringing torrential rains, flooding and severe winds that knocked out power for days. At the time of this article's publishing, thousands of Texans remained without power. Hanna dumped more than 15 inches of rain in parts of South Texas, resulting in severe flash flooding, according to The Washington Post. Downed power lines and trees caused road closures across the region. As of 1 p.m. Monday (July 27), American Electric Power Texas, one of the state's largest electric providers, reported more than 58,000 power outages in Corpus Christi, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley. Maximum sustained winds were recorded as high as 90 mph before Hanna weakened into a tropical storm early Sunday and moved into northern Mexico. A marina in Corpus Christi sustained severe property damage. Over 30 boats at the marina were lost or damaged in the storm, including the marina itself.
