Tropical Storm Hermine changed from a tropical depression 10 to a tropical storm and formed in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas on Monday, Sept. 6th.
The trajectory of Tropical Storm Hermine did not give it enough time to become a hurricane before making landfall in Mexico on Tuesday, Sept. 6th.
Unlike Hurricane Alex, which swiped Texas then plunged southwest into Mexico, Hermine was more memorable in Texas, dumping from 5 to 12 inches of rain in San Antonio, ripping off roofs in Raymondville, and disrupting power for 35,000 in the Rio Grande Valley..
Mexican emergency officials in Tamaulipas worked to evacuate3,500 people around Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Texas; Schools on both sides of the border canceled classes Tuesday..
