over 40 inchesTropical Storm Allison was a tropical storm that devastated southeast Texas in June of the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season . An arguable example of the `` brown ocean effect '' , Allison lasted unusually long for a June storm , remaining tropical or subtropical for 15 days , most of them over land dumping torrential rains . The storm developed from a tropical wave in the northern Gulf of Mexico on June 4 , 2001 , and struck the upper Texas coast shortly thereafter . It drifted northward through the state , turned back to the south , and re-entered the Gulf of Mexico . The storm continued to the east - northeast , made landfall on Louisiana , then moved across the southeast United States and Mid-Atlantic . Allison was the first storm since Tropical Storm Frances in 1998 to strike the northern Texas coastline .
