Although similar in name only, local resident Alex Baker bears little resemblance to the hurricane that swept across northern Mexico and delivered several inches of rain to the Rio Grande Valley area earlier this summer. Despite this fact, people from the immediate area surrounding Alex Baker are still concerned about any potential that he might have himself of flooding the neighborhood and causing any severe wind related damage to their homes.
Hurricane Alex blew ashore on June 30th as a category 2 dumping over 12 inches of rain in some areas and drove thousands of local Valley residents into shelters and hundreds from their flooding homes. Weeks after the storm passed the effects were still being endured by many unfortunate residents who's homes and land were still under water. Alex Baker on the other hand has rarely resulted in such widespread displacement of people or remarkable flooding. Any noticeable wind damage caused as a result of Alex Baker has also been minimal.
