Chinanews.com, September 15th, according to the US Chinese website, on the early morning of the 14th local time, Hurricane Nicholas (Nicholas) made landfall on the coast of Texas, causing power outages to more than 500,000 users in the state and possibly part of the Gulf of Mexico. The area brings heavy rainfall.

　　When "Nicholas" crossed the border, the wind weakened slightly and weakened into a tropical storm on the morning of the 14th, with a sustained wind speed of 45 miles per hour (about 72 kilometers).

According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), as of 11 am Eastern Time, the center of the storm is only 10 miles (about 16 kilometers) southeast of Houston.

　　The Houston School District, the most university district in Texas, and other school districts have cancelled classes on the 14th.

Several new crown testing and vaccination sites in the state were also forced to close.

　　This storm will continue to bring heavy rainfall to areas hit hard by Hurricane Harvey in 2017.

After Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the central coast of Harvey four years ago, it stayed in the territory for four days.

The hurricane caused at least 68 deaths, of which 36 were in the Houston area.

　　The National Hurricane Center expert Blake warned: "In the next few days, Nicholas may cause life-threatening flash floods in the Deep South."

　　The center of "Nicholas" is expected to pass through southwestern Louisiana on the 15th and is expected to bring heavy rainfall there.

Louisiana Governor Edwards has declared a state of emergency in the state.

　　At the same time, the northern coast of Texas and southern Louisiana may also experience tornadoes.

The storm is also expected to bring heavy rainfall in southern Mississippi and southern Alabama.

　　"Nicholas" is the fifth storm in this hurricane season that has rapidly increased wind.

According to meteorologists, these types of storms are becoming more frequent due to climate change and warming seas.

The United States has experienced 14 named storms in 2021, of which 6 were hurricanes, and 3 of 6 were major hurricanes.
