Devastating flooding hit the Rio Grande Valley on Thursday after repeated rounds of thunderstorms dumped as much as a foot of rain in less than 48 hours. 

McAllen, Texas, took the worst of it, picking up 7.93 inches, good enough for their third-wettest day of all time, and more than one-third of their average annual rain, the FOX Forecast Center said.

Video and photos from the border town showed cars stuck in the high floodwaters and staff scrambling to help patients at a local medical center, where rainfall had intruded.

Watch: Texas woman gets stuck in dizzying dust devil that she calls her own ‘personal tornado’

A Texas woman recently found herself in her own “personal tornado” when she was caught in a dust devil.

Leslie Holt told FOX Weather she was leaving the boat and RV dealership in San Antonio, where she works, when she encountered some gusty winds Monday. It wasn’t long before she realized she was stuck in a vortex.

“I’m going to turn my back to it if it’s just a wall of wind and wait for it to pass real quick,” she said. “I turn around, and I’m like, ‘Why is the wall in front of me?’”
