Oct 5, 1996
Strong gradient winds produced by a combination of high pressure across the eastern U.S. and Tropical Storm Josephine caused coastal flooding along the Upper Texas Coast. Tides ranged from 2 to 5 feet above astronomical predicted levels and caused substantial beach errosion, damaged beach houses and low lying coastal roads. 7 homes were destroyed and 75-80 homes damaged.
