Nicholas made landfall early Tuesday morning along the Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane, pummeling eastern portions of the state with fierce winds, heavy rain and flooding.

People from San Luis Pass to High Island, including Galveston Bay, face a possible “life-threatening storm surge” of up to 5 feet as Nicholas bears down, according to the National Hurricane Center.
