The former Tropical Storm Edouard weakened into a depression while unleashing heavy rains and strong winds on parts of Texas. It knocked out power to thousands on Tuesday and also toppled trees and flooded roads. The National Hurricane Center says the storm had made landfall in the small coastal community of Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, arriving with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph. It weakened as it moved inland and traveled over southeastern Texas. In the meantime, several storms were brewing in the Pacific Ocean, including Lowell, which reached hurricane strength earlier in the day.

Tropical Storm Edouard has formed in the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to gain strength before bringing potentially heavy rains and flooding into parts of Texas and Louisiana. Forecasters expect it will make landfall in Texas on Tuesday. In the Pacific Ocean, Tropical Storm Lowell is expected to rapidly intensify and reach the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands later this week. Elsewhere in the Pacific, Hurricane Karina became a powerful Category 4 hurricane on Monday. It isn't threatening land but could send high surf to parts of California and Mexico.

The bodies of two friends — a Texas chiropractor and a martial arts studio owner — have been found after a major flash flood swept through the Grand Canyon. Officials said Monday that one person remains unaccounted for after about 80 others were rescued over the weekend. Park officials did not release identities, but the families of the two deceased men identified them as John Giusti and Brent Rosenkranz. THey say their buddy Saturday’s flash flood severely damaged the only water pipeline into the canyon. Officials have barred tourists from staying at lodges and hotels inside Grand Canyon National Park and issued emergency water restrictions for year-round residents. Officials say they used the park’s permit system to track the number of missing people.
