Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA small but potent line of strong to severe thunderstorms dumped torrential rains, produced frequent lightning strikes, and slammed heavy winds across much of the Rio Grande Valley during the afternoon of April 28th. ||A microburst powered up when it reached Cameron County, and ultimately caused significant damage to two poorly built mobile trailers in northern Los Fresnos. Surrounding damage in Olmito, Rancho Viejo, and other neighborhoods included dozens of snapped mesquite limbs, several uprooted trees, and at least one leaning power pole.||Heavy rainfall - the highest for any single event since January - dropped between 1 and 4 inches across portions of the Lower and Mid Valley. Pockets of urban and farm field flooding were noted as much of the rain fell within an hour and runoff or fast rising water was common.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeObserved rainfall from Automated Weather Observation System platforms, CoCoRaHS observers, cooperative observers, and Emergency Management personnel of 1.4 to 1.8 inches in Edinburg, and between 2 and 4 inches in Mercedes - much of the rain falling in less than one hour - created nuisance urban and field flooding due to rapid runoff after months of very dry weather. Up to 2 feet of water accumulated in poor drainage locations of Edinburg and Mercedes.
