The US National Hurricane Center says that the most powerful winds which surround the storm's calm center made landfall around 0600 GMT.

The towns of Sabine Pass in Texas and Cameron in Louisiana took the initial fury of the hurricane. Winds carrying heavy rain were recorded at speeds of up to 120mph as the storm lashed the area.

In Texas, a fire erupted in the centre of the largely evacuated town of Galveston, whipped by the winds from the sea.
