As Hurricane Hanna moved across the western Gulf of Mexico and towards the South Texas coast on July 25th, it brought a period of tropical storm force and hurricane force winds and hazardous seas to the lower Texas coastal waters. The strongest winds were reported at the NDBC buoys 42020 and RSJT2, which are both in the coastal waters off of Kenedy County in Deep South Texas. The stronger winds were reported at these locations because they were closer to the center of Hurricane Hanna, which made landfall around 5 PM CDT midway down the coast of Kenedy County on July 25th. No injuries, fatalities, or damages to vessels have been reported at this time.

From 25-JUL-20 14:00:00 to 25-JUL-20 16:30:00 (CST-6)
Reported by: Buoy

As Hurricane Hanna passed over the Lower Texas coastal waters on July 25th, this portion of the Laguna Madre was estimated to have seen hurricane-force winds between 14:00 and 16:30 CST. While there are no observations in this portion of waters, with landfall just a few miles north of this zone, combined with the hurricane-force winds reported at RSJT2, it is reasonable to conclude that the northern portions of this marine zone experienced hurricane-force winds around the estimated time-frame.

As Hurricane Hanna passed over the Lower Texas coastal waters on July 25th, this portion of the Laguna Madre saw hurricane-force winds between 13:12 and 15:54 CST, the time-frame captured by the RSJT2 buoy. Tropical storm-force winds preceded and followed this period of hurricane-force winds, starting at 10:48 CST and ending at 16:54 CST.

Reported by: Buoy

As Hurricane Hanna passed over the Lower Texas coastal waters on July 25th, buoy 42020 reported sustained winds and frequent gusts to hurricane strength for a period of a little more than 2 hours, with the max reported gust recorded at 73 knots. Tropical storm force winds preceded and followed this period of hurricane-force winds. The first onset of tropical storm force winds started at 4:50 CST on July 25th and then persisted for almost 6 hours, before a brief lull and then the onset of hurricane force winds. Following the hurricane-force winds, tropical storm-force persisted for almost 4 more hours, ending at 20:00 CST.

As Hurricane Hanna moved across the western Gulf of Mexico towards the South Texas coast, it brought a period of tropical storm-force winds to the Lower Texas coastal waters on July 25th. TABS Buoy K, which is located in this coastal zone, reported consistent tropical storm-force gusts from 9:30 CST to 18:30 CST.

Reported by: Buoy

As Hurricane Hanna passed over the Lower Texas coastal waters on July 25th, this portion of Gulf waters saw hurricane-force winds between 13:30 and 16:00 CST. While there are no observations in this portion of waters, both buoy 42020 and RSJT2 reported sustained winds and frequent gusts to hurricane strength for a period of a little more than 2 hours, and these stations surround this coastal zone. Tropical storm force winds preceded and followed this period of hurricane-force winds.

Marine Tropical Storm in COASTAL WATERS FROM PT MANSFIELD TO RIO GRANDE RIVER TX OUT 20NM, GULF OF MEXICO

Reported by: Buoy

As Hurricane Hanna moved across the western Gulf of Mexico towards the South Texas coast, it brought a period of tropical storm-force winds to the Lower Texas coastal waters on July 25th. TABS Buoy K, which is located to the east of this coastal zone, reported consistent tropical storm-force gusts from 9:30 CST to 18:30 CST, and RLIT2 located to west reported tropical storm-force winds from 12:42 CST tp 23:06. Therefore, by proxy, the estimated time-frame that tropical storm-force winds occurred in this marine zone is from 11:00 CST to 21:00 CST.

Marine Tropical Storm in LAGUNA MADRE FROM PORT OF BROWNSVILLE TO ARROYO COLORADO, GULF OF MEXICO
From 25-JUL-20 12:42:00 to 25-JUL-20 23:06:00 (CST-6)
Reported by: Buoy

As Hurricane Hanna moved across the western Gulf of Mexico towards the South Texas coast, it brought a period of tropical storm-force winds to the Lower Texas coastal waters on July 25th. Buoy RLIT2, which is located in this coastal zone, reported sustained tropical storm-force winds and gusts from 12:42 CST to 23:06 CST. Buoys PCGT2 and BZST2 also reported tropical storm-force winds for at least 2 consecutive hours at some point in this time range, but were not as strong or long lasting at RLIT2 due to their more southern locations, which were located further away from the center of the storm.
