| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A 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_narrative | Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS), spotters, cooperative observers, and Automated Surface Observing Systems recorded between 2 and 3.5 inches of torrential rain in less than an hour, generally on a line from Santa Rosa to east of Cameron Park. The torrents included much of Brownsville, Los Fresnos, and Harlingen. At Brownsville (2.65 inches) and Harlingen/Valley Airport (2.37 inches), new daily records were set. The heavy rainfall flooded previously parched farm and ranch fields with over a foot of water in some spots, particularly north of Los Fresnos, where the most rain (over 3 inches) fell. Brief nuisance urban flooding was noted in Harlingen, portions of Brownsville, and Los Fresnos. |
