Tropical Storm Edouard was expected to come ashore Tuesday morning anywhere from western
Louisiana to Port O'Connor, Texas. But tourism officials in Galveston said many vacationers were
planning to stay, hoping the area isn't hit as hard as South Padre Island was by Hurricane Dolly on July 23.
"We spend money to come here with our families. It's an inexpensive place to stay. If they were to
say evacuate, then yeah we would do it. But otherwise no," said Bronson, 49, who was vacationing from Allen.
Still, officials in Texas and Louisiana were busy Monday preparing just in case Edouard intensified.
It could reach near-hurricane strength as it churns in the warm Gulf of Mexico waters before making landfall.
Gov. Rick Perry issued a disaster declaration for 17 Texas counties that could be in Edouard's path.
The state activated a number of emergency teams, including calling up 1,200 Texas military forces
and six UH-60 helicopters, the State Operations Center said.
In Louisiana, Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a statewide emergency. Cameron Parish told up to 3,000
residents to evacuate low-lying coastal areas that are prone to flooding. Vermilion Parish, also in
western Louisiana, advised people in mobile homes or FEMA trailers along the coast to leave.
For vacationers, the timing of the storm couldn't be worse: The Texas coast banks on tourism at this
time of year, with much of the state baking in 100-degree weather. About 50 million visitors to the
Texas coast spent about $15 billion in 2006.
Since Dolly, South Padre has regained electric power but its four biggest full-service hotels remain
closed as well as the convention center in the community about 260 miles down the coast from
Galveston. Dolly hit the coast with winds up to 100 mph, tearing off roofs and knocking down signs on the island.
At 11 p.m. EDT, Edouard had maximum sustained winds near 60 mph, with higher gusts.

Gov. Rick Perry issued a disaster declaration for 17 Texas counties that could be in Edouard's path.
The state activated a number of emergency teams, including calling up 1,200 Texas military forces
and six UH-60 helicopters, the State Operations Center said.
In Louisiana, Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a statewide emergency. Cameron Parish told up to 3,000
residents to evacuate low-lying coastal areas that are prone to flooding. Vermilion Parish, also in
western Louisiana, advised people in mobile homes or FEMA trailers along the coast to leave.
For vacationers, the timing of the storm couldn't be worse: The Texas coast banks on tourism at this
time of year, with much of the state baking in 100-degree weather. About 50 million visitors to the
Texas coast spent about $15 billion in 2006.
Since Dolly, South Padre has regained electric power but its four biggest full-service hotels remain
closed as well as the convention center in the community about 260 miles down the coast from
Galveston. Dolly hit the coast with winds up to 100 mph, tearing off roofs and knocking down signs on the island.
At 11 p.m. EDT, Edouard had maximum sustained winds near 60 mph, with higher gusts.
Tropical Storm Edouard was expected to come ashore Tuesday morning anywhere from western
Louisiana to Port O'Connor, Texas. But tourism officials in Galveston said many vacationers were
planning to stay, hoping the area isn't hit as hard as South Padre Island was by Hurricane Dolly on July 23.
"We spend money to come here with our families. It's an inexpensive place to stay. If they were to
say evacuate, then yeah we would do it. But otherwise no," said Bronson, 49, who was vacationing from Allen.
Still, officials in Texas and Louisiana were busy Monday preparing just in case Edouard intensified.
It could reach near-hurricane strength as it churns in the warm Gulf of Mexico waters before making landfall.

Seven years after the September 11 attacks, the Pentagon on Thursday officially named "the long war" against
global extremism as its top priority and pledged to avert any conventional military threat from China or Russia
through dialogue.
The Defense Department, in a new national defense strategy, also emphasized the need to subordinate military
operations to "soft power" initiatives to undermine Islamist militancy by promoting economic, political and social
development in vulnerable corners of the world.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he hoped the change would help establish permanent institutional support
for counterinsurgency skills acquired in Iraq and Afghanistan within a defense community heavily skewed in favor
of expensive conventional and strategic modernization programs.
"If I could describe the new national defense strategy in one word, it would be 'balance,"' Gates told reporters,
saying there was a danger that U.S. ability to wage war against militant groups could be neglected in the future
without a shift in emphasis.
The pragmatic tone of the 23-page document, crafted to reflect Gates' priorities, contrasted sharply at different
points with the last national strategy, issued in March 2005, under Gates' more brash predecessor, Donald Rumsfeld.
Like Rumsfeld, Gates sees parallels between violent Islamist theology and the 20th-century ideologies of fascism
and communism.
Where Rumsfeld called for pre-emptive action against threats and envisioned U.S. partnerships with "like-minded
states," the new strategy calls for the patient accumulation of quiet success against militant adversaries and the
importance of improved relations with "old allies and new partners."
"For the foreseeable future, winning the long war against violent extremist movements will be the central objective
of the U.S.," the 2008 strategy said.

Where Rumsfeld called for pre-emptive action against threats and envisioned U.S. partnerships with "like-minded
states," the new strategy calls for the patient accumulation of quiet success against militant adversaries and the
importance of improved relations with "old allies and new partners."
"For the foreseeable future, winning the long war against violent extremist movements will be the central objective
of the U.S.," the 2008 strategy said.
Seven years after the September 11 attacks, the Pentagon on Thursday officially named "the long war" against
global extremism as its top priority and pledged to avert any conventional military threat from China or Russia
through dialogue.
The Defense Department, in a new national defense strategy, also emphasized the need to subordinate military
operations to "soft power" initiatives to undermine Islamist militancy by promoting economic, political and social
development in vulnerable corners of the world.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he hoped the change would help establish permanent institutional support
for counterinsurgency skills acquired in Iraq and Afghanistan within a defense community heavily skewed in favor
of expensive conventional and strategic modernization programs.
"If I could describe the new national defense strategy in one word, it would be 'balance,"' Gates told reporters,
saying there was a danger that U.S. ability to wage war against militant groups could be neglected in the future
without a shift in emphasis.
The pragmatic tone of the 23-page document, crafted to reflect Gates' priorities, contrasted sharply at different
points with the last national strategy, issued in March 2005, under Gates' more brash predecessor, Donald Rumsfeld.
Like Rumsfeld, Gates sees parallels between violent Islamist theology and the 20th-century ideologies of fascism
and communism.
