Monsoon Flooding in West Texas?

The extensive rains across northern Mexico and West Texas from the retreating North American monsoon are bringing historic flooding to the Rio Conchos and Rio Grande. As reservoirs on the Rio Conchos overflow, the downstream cities of Ojinaga (in Chihuahua, Mexico) and Presidio (in Texas) have watched flood waters breach their levees. The deaths of the U.S. and Mexican directors of the International Boundary Waters Commission and Rio Grande Council of Governments in a plane crash while surveying the flood have added to the tragedy.
