User:Hurricane Noah/Tropical Depression Nineteen-E (2018)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tropical Depression Nineteen-E was a weak tropical cyclone that caused flooding throughout Western Mexico. Nineteen-E originated from an area of low pressure that formed several hundred miles off the southern coast of Mexico on September 14. The National Hurricane Center continued to track the disturbance for the next several days. Despite disorganization and then having close proximity to land, the disturbance developed into Tropical Depression Nineteen-E on September 19 in the Gulf of California. The system peaked with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (55 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 1002 mbar (29.59 inHg). One day after forming, the depression quickly deteriorated and dissipated after making landfall in Sonora. Overall, Nineteen-E affected 8 Mexican states. Four individuals were killed, 3 were reported missing, and over $40 million USD in agricultural loses were recorded.
