GALVESTON, Texas — Tropical Storm Edouard brushed past gulf beaches and caused little damage, while inland farmers hoped its remnants would help ease drought conditions.
Forecasters had feared Edouard could become a hurricane, and both Texas and Louisiana prepared for an emergency. But when it made landfall east of Galveston, winds gusted as high as 65 mph, 9 mph below hurricane strength. The storm then weakened to a tropical depression as it moved toward Houston on Tuesday afternoon.
