"Texas and Oklahoma brace as Tropical Storm Bill forms in the Gulf" [1]

"Here comes the rain again.

Still reeling from record rainfall in May, Texas is back in the bull's-eye as Tropical Storm Bill formed in the northwest Gulf of Mexico on Monday night.

Poised to come ashore Tuesday morning, the system is expected to dump 4 to 8 inches in eastern Texas and Oklahoma.

Western Louisiana and Arkansas are expected to see up to 4 inches of rain."

Mariano Castillo and Ed Payne report for CNN June 16, 2015. [2]
