The Austin-Travis County EMS and the Texas Army National Guard left this afternoon for the coast to help anyone hurt by TS Humberto.
"Five rescue medics will be assigned to a boat squad; four rescue medics will be assigned to staff two helicopter squads and will be teamed with military pilots and rescue personnel aboard Texas National Guard Blackhawk helicopters."
Humberto is gathering strength little by little and could go ashore near Galveston sometime tonight. JD, at the Mouth of the Brazos blog, is wondering what, if anything, Brazoria County will get, and musing about a beach house he lost to similar storms.
