Tropical Depression Hermine is still causing floods and flash floods in the Texas/Oklahoma area. The storm has weakened a great deal, with maximum sustained winds of 25 miles per hour.

Hermine is not expected to exist much longer. Rather, it's expected that the storm will die out before the weekend, however, it's still good to be alert, as there is a lot of heavy rainfall in the area that the storm is covering. Even if the storm ceases to be a tropical depression, the weather is still unfavorable, and it will continue moving across Oklahoma tonight and Thursday.
