HOUSTON, June 17 (UPI) -- British energy company BP remained on standby with its storm prediction center as Tropical Depression Bill moved further inland from the Texas coast Wednesday.
Bill was downgraded from a tropical storm after it made landfall on the Texas coast Tuesday morning. The National Hurricane Center said Bill has maximum sustained winds of around 35 miles per hour. The storm is expected to weaken to become a post-tropical low as it crosses the Texas border into Oklahoma early Thursday morning.
