Tropical Depression Nineteen-E was a weak tropical cyclone that caused flooding in northwestern Mexico and the United States. By September 7, 2018, the storm had entered the northeastern Pacific Ocean, after crossing Central America. Despite disorganization and its close proximity to land, the meandering disturbance developed into a tropical depression in the Gulf of California on September 19, with peak maximum sustained winds reported as 35 mph (55 km/h). Although the storm quickly deteriorated after landfall, thirteen people were killed in Chihuahua, Sinaloa, and Sonora, and over US$40 million in agricultural losses were recorded. Overall, the storm affected eleven Mexican states, with torrential rainfall and flooding in Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, and Sonora. Remnant moisture from Nineteen-E led to severe flooding in the U.S. states of Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, with damage estimates totalling about $250 million. (Full article...)

- @Dank: Probably should say September 2018. I would recommend removing the word African as most tropical waves in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific originate there. Also, probably should mention the US damage amount as well since it is pretty substantial. I do have a question though as this is my first FA. Are you the one that nominates the TFAR since you created the blurb or do I? I have been planning on May 15 as that is the start of EPAC's hurricane season. NoahTalk 01:08, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, I moved 2018 next to September. In that format, it probably won't work to talk about the tropical wave. Added the damage estimate. Ealdgyth, Noah wants May 15 for this one ... thoughts? - Dank (push to talk) 02:50, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
