| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A broad area of low pressure over the northwest Gulf of Mexico strengthened into Tropical Storm Bill on the evening of June 15th. Tropical Storm Bill moved slowly northwest toward the Middle Texas coast. Tropical Storm Bill made landfall in Calhoun County on Matagorda Island south of San Antonio Bay during the late morning. Because of persistent strong east to northeast winds over Calhoun County as Bill moved slowly inland, coastal areas near the western portion of Matagorda Bay and near Lavaca Bay were impacted by storm tide levels of 3 to 4 feet above mean sea level. The storm surge reached 3.5 feet at Port Lavaca causing moderate beach erosion. The storm surge damaged new bulkheads near Alamo Beach and damaged or destroyed fifteen piers from Port Alto to Port Lavaca to Port O'Connor. Property damage was estimated near 1.3 million dollars. Rainfall amounts ranged from 1 to 3 inches as Bill moved through the northern Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads. Maximum wind gusts recorded were 47 knots at Port O'Connor and 42 knots at Port Lavaca. |
