Edouard Storm Is Gone, But the Crisis Isn’t: Convoy of Hope Responds to Texas Flooding

SPRINGFIELD, MO (September 3, 2026) — Convoy of Hope is bringing help and hope after Tropical Storm Edouard hit Southeast Texas, but the danger is far from over. Nearly two feet of rain has fallen in some areas, flooding homes and roadways, knocking out power and forcing dozens of rescues across the region.

Among the hardest-hit areas, Hardin County, floodwaters have surrounded homes and stranded drivers while high winds brought down trees and power lines. More than 20 inches of rain fell in parts of the county, creating dangerous conditions for families and communities already facing extensive damage.

The storm has since weakened to a tropical depression, but floodwaters continue to threaten communities across Southeast Texas. Many schools and businesses are closed, roads remain unsafe and thousands are left without power.

Convoy of Hope is responding with essential relief items, including cleaning supplies, fresh drinking water and other resources to help Texas families begin recovering.

For families whose homes have been flooded, recovery starts with the basics: clean water, supplies to clear away damage and the support needed to begin putting life back together.

Convoy of Hope is committed to bringing help and hope to communities facing crisis.
