Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	Vigorous energy cycling around a seasonally strong upper level disturbance crashing into Texas brought a final round of potent thunderstorms through much of the Rio Grande Valley during the late night hours of May 10th into daybreak on May 11th. Initial severe thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes pummeled the Coastal Bend and South Texas Plains from Corpus Christi to near Laredo during the evening of the 10th. As night progressed, pockets of colder air behind the initial line pushed its west end southward; just before midnight, this end would link up with individual cells moving off the Sierra Madre west of Zapata County and form a separate, smaller line from Jim Hogg to Zapata County. This line quickly intensified and dumped heavy rain, high winds some large hail, and one confirmed tornado. As the line marched from the Ranchlands into the Rio Grande Valley, it weakened a bit; as the remnants neared the coast before daybreak, individual small rotating storms developed and redeveloped in Cameron County, with several reports of funnel clouds and at least one confirmed tornado in San Benito (just after 3 AM) from a few hours prior to until just after daybreak on the 11th.\|\|While minor flooding was reported across some of the hilly terrain of the Rio Grande Plains, rainfall was more welcome in the Lower and Mid Valley, with many locations between San Benito, Harlingen, and McAllen receiving 1 to 2 inches of soaking. Frequent to excessive lightning strikes knocked out power to portions of the Rio Grande Valley as the intense storms passed; the lightning caused one structure fire in Pharr.
Event narrativeevent_narrative	Frequent to excessive lightning struck McAllen and Pharr as an individual strong thunderstorm followed the initial line of activity. The City of McAllen reported 4,200 customers without power during the peak of the storm. Lightning caused a structure fire just east in Pharr and knocked out power to some residents of the city.
