Local Weather History For August 17th...
2007 (17th-18th): Tropical Depression Erin, previously a tropical storm during landfall on the middle Texas coast early on
the 16th, brought large amounts of rain to areas off the Caprock from late on the 17th through the morning on the 18th.
Erin maintained a defined circulation well after making landfall, and even strengthened significantly over Oklahoma early

region fell under the west (dry) side of the depression. The largest rainfall total recorded in the region was measured at
the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet site near Aspermont at 6.10 inches. Most totals ranged between 2 and 4 inches
in the Rolling Plains. In addition
