Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, brought decent rain to the Texas Coast.
While San Antonio saw steady rain on Wednesday, parts of South Padre Island, Corpus Christi and Galveston saw flooding mostly from the “storm surge,” according to your KSAT Weather Authority.
McAllen in the Rio Grande Valley received 4.29 inches of rain, and Corpus Christi received 2.94 inches. You can watch a video of that storm surge in the Corpus Christi area in the player above.
To the east, Houston received 1.28 inches of rain. The videos below show a waterspout near Jamaica Beach in Galveston and some of the flooding in Matagorda County, southwest of Houston.
The storm made landfall on Thursday morning over northeast Mexico, bringing much-needed rain to Mexico’s Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila states.
The storm resulted in three deaths in Mexico.
