Posting Date: July 27, 2020, 6:00:00 AM

Hurricane Hanna made its first landfall around 5 p.m. Central Time with 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 90 mph on San Padre, Island, a barrier island just off the coast of Texas and south of Corpus Christi, and its second landfall a little over an hour later in Kennedy County Texas, on July 25. ALERT™ subscribers can download similar stochastic event (SSE) IDs for this event from the Downloads tab. Compatible with Touchstone^®, Touchstone Re™, and CATRADER^®, the SSEs were selected based on event parameters (not industry losses) and should be used only for exposures in the U.S. 

Hanna brought high winds and heavy rains—12 inches in some areas—to southern Texas near the border of Mexico as it dissipated over land. Power outages affected hundreds of thousands of people at one point and many streets were flooded. The governor made a disaster declaration. Evacuation efforts were complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Mercedes, a building commonly known as the "Dome" was set aside for people who had evacuated and tested positive for COVID-19 or were exposed to the virus. Across the affected area, shelters were also opened in other makeshift facilities such as schools, hotels, and gymnasiums.
