Script IT'S A HURRICANE NO MORE. BRETT HAS NOW BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM. FORECASTERS AT THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IN MIAMI SAY BRET'S TOP SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DROPPED BELOW HURRICANE FORCE LEVEL AS THE STORM MOVES FURTHER INLAND FROM THE TEXAS COAST. BUT THE DANGER IS FAR FROM OVER. PKG LEAD: SOUTH TEXAS SURVEYS THE DAMAGE AS BRET BECOMES A TROPICAL STORM. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS DOWN-GRADED BRET AS THE STORM MOVES FURTHER INLAND. AS OUR CHRIS CHMURA REPORTS, BRET CONTINUES TO DRENCH THE REGION WITH THUNDEROUS SQALLS. NONE PROVIDED--FILED IN FIELD. NOONFEED
