Tropical storm Nicholas, approaching the US coast, turned into a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and is heading for the city of Houston. It carries with it winds at a speed of 120 km / h, torrential rains and storm waves at sea.
The authorities urged local residents to stay at home whenever possible. By Monday evening, several roads about a 1.5-hour drive from Houston were closed due to flooding. Meteorologists warn that up to 50 cm of precipitation may fall in southeast Texas. Nicholas is expected to weaken from Tuesday as he continues to move northeast.
