....on South Padre Island. Harlingen had 28"!!

I keep an eye on the local weather forecasters and they saw that low pressure system in Mexico building and thought that South Texas might get an inch of rain. 20" in Weslaco, 16" in McAllen, flooded out cars everywhere, reminded me of the olden days in Houston. They were all WAY off the mark.
