The New York Times reports:
More than two million people were under a tropical storm warning along the Texas Gulf Coast in the early hours of Thursday as Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, neared the coast of Mexico, bringing intense rain and storm surges.
The expansive storm system brought widespread coastal flooding in southern Texas on Wednesday, well before the storm was expected to make landfall. In Texas, tides surged beneath elevated houses in some coastal cities, including Surfside Beach, about 40 miles south of Galveston, starting on Wednesday morning.
The National Hurricane Center warned that Alberto was a large storm, with tropical-force winds extending about 415 miles north of its center in the Gulf of Mexico as it moved west toward northeastern Mexico.

Tropical Storm Alberto will make landfall today along the Mexico Coastline, which will impact South Texas.

Perfect example of why not to focus solely on the landfall location of a tropical storm. A couple hundred miles away in Texas is experiencing significant flooding from storm surge and heavy rainfall. #Texas #TXwx #Alberto #TropicalStorm pic.twitter.com/5eOs8Jb3q2
