Hurricane Hanna, the first hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic season, made landfall on Texas' Padre Island at 5 pm local time on Saturday, with maximum winds of 150 kmh (90 mph), the US National Hurricane Centre said.

​Heavy rains and life-threatening flooding are forecast in the area. Tornado warnings have been issued in several counties, as isolated tornadoes are expected in the area, according to the National Weather Forecast in Corpus Christi.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Douglas continues to move northwest toward Hawaii, according to the NHC. US President Donald Trump issued an emergency declaration for Hawaii on Saturday in anticipation of hurricane Douglas, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
