Tropical Storm Alberto Hits Mexico and Texas, Causing Fatalities and Flooding
The first named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season brought heavy rains, storm surges, and significant damage across both regions.
- Alberto made landfall near Tampico, Mexico, with 50 mph winds, causing widespread flooding and at least four deaths.
- In Texas, the storm surge led to coastal flooding, with areas like Galveston and Surfside Beach experiencing significant water levels.
- Authorities in both Mexico and Texas prepared extensively, setting up shelters and deploying emergency resources.
- Despite the devastation, some drought-stricken areas welcomed the rain brought by Alberto.
- A new disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico could potentially develop into another tropical storm, following a similar path.
