Poor Texas is getting hammered by Mother Nature yet again

For the last two months, heavy rains have been blasting the Lone Star State — and on Tuesday, Tropical Storm Bill brought buckets more to its beleaguered coast, making landfall at about 11 a.m. CT. The good news is that the storm should weaken as it moves over land. The bad news is that it's still going to rain over a large swath of the state, and there's really nowhere for the water to go. The National Weather Service warned to expect heavy rains, flash flooding and river flooding. Overnight, Bill could deliver a deluge to the Texas Hill Country in the central part of the state. The rain is then forecast to march toward Dallas by Wednesday morning. Last month's deadly floods killed 20 people and destroyed dozens of homes.

Tropical Storm Bill brought heavy wind and giant waves to the Galveston shore and flooding to other parts of the Texas coast. VPC
