Tropical storm Alberto lashed into Mexico’s Gulf Coast Thursday, bringing heavy rain and flooding to parts of Mexico and southern Texas but causing damage. Alberto, the first named storm of what is expected to be a busy Atlantic hurricane season, made landfall early Thursday near the port of Tampico. It weakened rapidly to a tropical depression as it moved inland where it was expected to dissipate. Millions of people were under flood warnings as the large storm brought rain to northeastern Mexico and battered the Texas Gulf Coast. At least three people were killed in the Mexican state of Nuevo León on Wednesday, according to local media reports. One teenager drowned in a river and two others were electrocuted crossing a pond where a live cable was hanging. “Unfortunately, three deaths that could have been avoided,” Nuevo León Gov. Samuel García said in a television interview. “There’s a reason why classes were suspended. This isn’t ordinary rain, it’s a tropical cyclone.” While causing some localized flooding, the storm also brought much-needed rain to a region of Mexico that has been hit by severe drought. The good news is that the reservoirs are filling up,” García said. Nuevo León’s capital city, Monterrey, a regional industrial hub, has suffered major water shortages in recent years because of the drought. Maximum sustained winds were around 45 miles an hour when Alberto made landfall, and reported damage was minimal. Mexico’s state electric company, CFE, said the storm knocked out power to nearly 300,000 users in five states, including Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and Veracruz. Service had been restored to around half Thursday afternoon.
