Pamela weakens; remnants of storm head for Texas, Oklahoma
MEXICO CITY – Tropical depression Pamela dissipated in northern Mexico on Wednesday night after slamming into the country’s Pacific coast as a hurricane, though forecasters warned that its rainy remnants still posed a flooding threat for parts of Texas and Oklahoma. Pamela made landfall early Wednesday about 40 miles north of Mazatlan, where officials said the storm caused minor flooding but did little damage. It gradually lost power while moving inland, weakening first to a tropical storm and then to a tropical depression.
