Tropical Storm Bill

Tropical Depression Bill pelted the central United States with heavy rain on Thursday after causing at least three deaths in the region, including a toddler in Oklahoma who was swept out of his father's arms by raging waters, officials said.

Tropical Storm Bill headed further into central Texas with heavy rains and high winds today before losing its punch and no serious injuries were reported, relieving officials and residents just three weeks after floods killed about 30 people in the state.

Carlos maintained hurricane force off Mexico's Pacific coast early today, as parts of the United States braced for a separate storm system expected to unleash heavy rains.
