Today marks the 100th anniversary of floods in San Antonio, Texas, that killed 215 and caused $19 million in damage.
On September 7, a hurricane made landfall near Tampico, Mexico. It lost cyclonic characteristics the same day, but the storm remnants were forced northward. It stalled over central Texas, causing the devastating flooding in San Antonio and other areas. Some stations reported as much as 40 inches of rain in a 24 hour period.
