	CNN.com - Two dead in Claudette's wake - Jul. 16, 2003
		The storm, which reached hurricane status earlier in the day with winds of 80-85 mph gusting to 104 mph, tested the limits of power lines, trees and structures as it made landfall.
		In the Galveston area, more than 100 miles from where Claudette came ashore, 8-foot waves crashed over five lanes of highway on the seawall built nearly 1,000 feet from the tide line, and waterspouts spun wildly over the choppy water.
		Hurricane center forecasters expected Claudette to weaken to a tropical depression overnight, but the system still could spawn tornadoes in portions of south-central Texas, and leave 5 to 8 inches of rain in its wake.
