More than a century ago, when it was an El Niño year, San Antonio was one of the Texas cities that got slammed by severe weather. Heavy rain during the final days of November 1913 set the stage for more flooding in the first week of December 1913, which resulted in 180 drownings. The city saw 20 to 25 inches of rain in 15 days.

At least four people are dead, two more are missing and dozens of water rescues have unfolded after the heaviest rain in more than a decade triggered flash flooding in San Antonio, Texas.
