Parts of southeast Texas were under flash flood warnings as excessive rainfall is expected in the Southern Plains states.

More than a century ago, when it was an El Niño year, San Antonio was one of the Texas cities that got slammed by severe weather. Heavy rain during the final days of November 1913 set the stage for more flooding in the first week of December 1913, which resulted in 180 drownings. The city saw 20 to 25 inches of rain in 15 days.

More than six inches of rain fell in the San Antonio region overnight, surpassing the city’s average rainfall for June and July combined.
