"AUSTIN, Texas  -- Tropical Depression Bill drenched large parts of Texas on Wednesday, turning streets into lakes, raising flood worries and killing at least one person in the state where severe weather killed about 30 people last month.

Bill, the second named tropical storm of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season, was forecast to bring 2 to 4 inches (5-10 cm) of rain in an area stretching from Texas toward Indiana, with a few places seeing as much as 12 inches (30 cm), the National Weather Service said.

It was downgraded from a tropical storm on Wednesday as it lost strength. The storm first came ashore on Tuesday and has taken a northeastern path into northern Texas and Oklahoma."
