"Heavy rain and winds reaching 65km/h were reported in the city as the hurricane came ashore before dawn, according to the spokesperson, adding that Houston still faced the risk of flooding."
Fwiw, I was playing top league tennis today in winds of up to 60 km/h at time. Not very pleasant, but nothing to worry about.
Well, 60 km/h is in the neighborhood of 40 mph. Windy, but tolerable.
