Tropical Storm Edouard has made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border, bringing 60 mph winds, torrential rain and a dangerous flash flood threat across the Gulf Coast. The storm came ashore near Johnson Bayou on the Louisiana coast before moving inland. Heavy rainfall has flooded roads across parts of Texas, while thousands of homes and businesses have lost power in Southeast Texas. Forecasters warn that some areas could receive up to 9 inches of rain, raising the risk of sudden flooding in low-lying and urban areas.

A tragic incident in Louisiana has left eight children dead in what authorities are describing as a domestic violence case. The situation unfolded before sunrise across multiple homes in Shreveport, leaving the community in shock. Officials say two women were also seriously injured, and the suspect was later stopped by police following a pursuit. Authorities are continuing their investigation into what led to the incident. US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana native, said his office is in touch with local law enforcement as the community begins to process the tragedy.
