[STORMREPORTS] Mexico Still Recovering From Floods

I thought that I had commented last week that heavy rains had occurred
on the south Texsa / Mexico border near Reynosa, but at the time I could
not find any news sources. Today I found one:

"McALLEN, Texas - Eight neighborhoods in Reynosa, Coahuila, across the
South Texas border, remain flooded more than a week after torrential
rains forced the evacuation of about 3,200 people.

High water kept many Reynosa residents out of their homes and made
navigating neighborhood roads treacherous.

The heavy rains dumped more than five inches (12 centimeters) in the
city on Friday. It caused the worst flooding seen in 20 years, said
Oscar Rodriguez Montalvo, the director of the fire department."

Here is a 7-day doppler-estimated precip map showing 12-16" in the last
week south of the border:
