Patricia Remnants Combine With Storm System Over Texas

Patricia, the most powerful hurricane on record in the Western Hemisphere, quickly lost power as it moved over Mexico. Then an upper-level low pressure system and the remnants of hurricane Patricia combined to cause very heavy rain in Texas. On Sunday October 25, 2015 eastern Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi were also warned of flooding as extreme rainfall moved eastward along the Gulf Coast.
