At the moment, it is reported about 400 thousand residents of the state who were left without electricity.
According to forecasters, the storm has already weakened, but the risk of flooding remains very high. Next & # 34; Nicholas & # 34; will not move northeast away from Houston and move to Louisiana. The local authorities have not yet calculated the losses from the new storm, but the US President predicts that various cataclysms that have occurred this year may empty the country's budget by $ 100 billion.
