Texas Cruise watches storm

Although  hurricanes are alway unpredictable in their movements, Tropical Storm/Hurricane Hermine is not expected to hit the Texas coast hard at this time and possibly affect Galveston Cruises as other storms have in the past.  However, Mexican authorities opened shelters and warned people to watch out for mudslides Monday as Tropical Storm Hermine approached the northeastern border with Texas, the second major storm to hit the area this season.  So, good weather continues to favor cruises out of Galveston.

Hermine could easily turn into a  hurricane before making landfall early Tuesday in a sparsely populated area about 50 miles south of Matamoros, a city bordering Brownsville, Texas, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

A hurricane watch was issued for the area from Rio San Fernando, Mexico, northward to Baffin Bay in Texas.

Hermine is expected to hit in the same area where Hurricane Alex roared ashore in June. It killed at least 12 people as remnant rains drenched a wide swath of northeastern Mexico for days.

As always, Texas Cruise Company will try to inform you of any major weather issues that might affect your Texas Cruise out of Galveston.  We just want you to know and keep you informed.
