The storm's forecast path kept it away from major oil and natural gas installations in the Gulf of Mexico

The storm's forecast path kept it away from major oil and natural gas installations in the Gulf of Mexico.




Hours after Hermine made landfall, Coast Guard Ensign Scott Kimball said a fishing vessel had run aground at a jetty near South Padre Island.



Neighborhoods lost power while Hermine's center moved over Brownsville, said Joseph Tomaselli, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Parts of the Rio Grande Valley still drying out from Hurricane Alex braced for as much as eight inches of more rain.



"It doesn't take a lot of rainfall to cause any flooding down there whatsoever," Tomaselli said.



Hermine was expected to dump 4 to 8 inches of rain while moving north through Texas and weakening into a tropical depression. It's possible a few areas could see up to a foot of rain. Tomaselli said remnants of Hermine will be felt as far north as Oklahoma and Kansas in the coming days.



In Mexico, Hermine brought another unwelcome downpour after remnant rains from Alex killed at least 12 people in flooding. In July, Alex caused heavy flooding in the business capital of Monterrey. Damage from the storm was estimated at $700 million.
