Question: During The 1979 Atlantic hurricane season, what tropical storm caused significant flooding in eastern Texas and western Louisiana and also resulted in two deaths and damages totaling to $750 million?  
Context: The 1979 Atlantic hurricane season was the first season to include both male and female names, as well as the common six-year rotating lists of tropical cyclone names.  The season officially began on June 1, and lasted until November 30.  These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.  It was slightly below average, with nine systems reaching tropical storm intensity.  The first system, an unnumbered tropical depression, developed north of Puerto Rico on June 9.  Two days later, Tropical Depression One formed and produced severe flooding in Jamaica, with 40 deaths and about $27 million (1979 USD) in damage.  Tropical Storm Ana caused minimal impact in the Lesser Antilles.  Hurricane Bob spawned tornadoes and produced minor wind damage along the Gulf Coast of the United States, primarily in Louisiana, while the remnants caused flooding, especially in Indiana.  Tropical Storm Claudette caused extensive flooding, due to torrential rainfall.  There were two deaths and damaged totaled $750 million. Tropical Storm Claudette caused significant flooding in eastern Texas and western Louisiana in July 1979.  The third named storm of the 1979 Atlantic hurricane season, Claudette developed from a tropical wave located east of the Windward Islands on July 16.  It gradually strengthened and was upgraded to a tropical storm on July 17 and crossed the northern Leeward Islands later that day.  As it neared landfall in Puerto Rico early on July 18, upper-level winds weakened it back to a tropical depression.  Claudette remained disorganized and the National Hurricane Center operationally reported that it degenerated back into a tropical wave after crossing Puerto Rico.  Late on July 18, the depression struck Dominican Republic, emerged into the Caribbean Sea on the following day.  Claudette struck western Cuba on July 21, shortly before reaching the Gulf of Mexico and "regenerating" into a tropical cyclone.  By July 23, Claudette regained tropical storm intensity and turned northward toward the Gulf Coast of the United States.  The storm made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana border late on July 23 as a moderately strong tropical storm.  It weakened slowly and drifted over land, lasting until dissipation in West Virginia on July 29. Hurricane Marco caused significant flooding in the Greater Antilles and Central America, despite remaining well offshore.  The thirteenth tropical cyclone, thirteenth named storm, and ninth hurricane of the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season, Marco developed in the western Caribbean Sea on November 16 after the interaction of a cold front and several tropical waves.  Initially a tropical depression, it remained weak as it tracked southwestward and eventually southward.  By November 19, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Marco, shortly before slowly curving in a general eastward direction.  Marco briefly became a hurricane on November 20, though upper-level winds caused it to weaken back to a tropical storm later that day.  The storm then tracked northeastward toward Hispaniola, but later become nearly stationary and curve eastward, then doubled-back to the west. Tropical Storm Debbie of the 1965 Atlantic hurricane season broke the daily rainfall record in Mobile, Alabama, despite dissipating offshore.  It developed on September 24 in the western Caribbean Sea, and moved northwestward for several days without intensifying.  On September 27, Debbie turned toward the northeast in the Gulf of Mexico, and the next day briefly attained tropical storm status.  However, the intrusion of cooler air imparted weakening, and the storm dissipated on September 30 just off the east coast of Louisiana.  It initially threatened areas of Louisiana that sustained significant damage from Hurricane Betsy in early September, although Debbie only caused light rainfall and some flooding in the state.  In southern Alabama, the storm dropped 17.2 in of rainfall, which resulted in significant flooding of roads and cars.  Damage totaled $25 million in the Mobile, Alabama area, although there was little damage elsewhere. Tropical Storm Hazel was a weak East Pacific tropical cyclone that caused heavy damage in Mexico.  The costliest storm of the 1965 Pacific hurricane season, it formed from a northward-moving disturbance that originated southeast of Socorro Island.  After reaching tropical storm strength on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale, the cyclone turned to the east-northeast.  The storm made landfall near Mazatlán on September 26 and quickly transitioned an extratropical cyclone.  Although fairly weak, the system was responsible for causing heavy damage to the Mexican economy.  Flooding in Mazatlán washed out many houses and submerged others in muddy water.  At least six people died with damages totaling $10 million (1965 USD) and possibly higher.  The name Hazel was retired following this storm, likely due to the Atlantic storm of the same name. The 1943 Atlantic hurricane season marked the first deliberate reconnaissance aircraft flights into tropical cyclones.  The season officially lasted from June 16 to October 31, which was, at the time, considered the most likely period for tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic Ocean.  A total of ten storms from 1943 are listed in the Atlantic hurricane database, and an eleventh system that affected Florida and Georgia has been identified as a probable tropical depression.  The first system of the year, dubbed the "Surprise hurricane", caused severe damage throughout Texas and Louisiana in June, partially because information about its approach was censored in the fray of World War II; the storm caused 19 deaths and $17 million in damage.  A major hurricane in mid-August produced hurricane-force winds in Bermuda, and several other tropical cyclones throughout the year resulted in strong winds there.  In September, a hurricane impacted the western Gulf Coast of the United States, then a tropical storm struck the Mid-Atlantic.  The two storms resulted in $419,000 and $20,000 in damage, respectively; one death was attributed to the latter system.  In mid-October, a strong hurricane resulted in flooding and damage to crops throughout the Caribbean; after becoming post-tropical, it contributed to moderate impacts across Nova Scotia. The 1969 Atlantic hurricane season was the busiest Atlantic hurricane season since 1933.  The hurricane season officially began on June 1, and lasted until November 30.  The season had the highest number of systems reach hurricane status – twelve – in a single season, until that record was surpassed in 2005.  Activity began with a series of five tropical depressions, the first of which developed on May 29.  The third system in that series, Tropical Depression Seven, caused extensive flooding in Cuba and Jamaica in early June.  The final in the series formed on July 25, the same day that Tropical Storm Anna developed.  Neither the former nor latter caused significant impact on land.  Later in the season, Tropical Depression Twenty-Nine caused severe local flooding in the Florida Panhandle and southwestern Georgia in September.  Hurricane Blanche was a small and short-lived tropical cyclone in mid-August that resulted in minimal effects. The 1955 Atlantic hurricane season was, at the time, the costliest season ever recorded.  The hurricane season officially began on June 15, 1955, and ended on November 15, 1955.  It was slightly above average, with 13 recorded tropical cyclones.  The first storm, Alice, had persisted since December 30, 1954.  Alice caused relatively minor impact as it tracked through the Lesser Antilles and eastern Caribbean Sea in early January.  Tropical Storm Brenda caused two deaths and minor damage along the Gulf Coast of the United States in early August.  The quick succession of Hurricanes Connie and Diane caused significant flooding in the Northeastern United States, with nearly $1 billion (1955 USD) in losses and at least 232 fatalities.  The next three storms – Hurricanes Edith and Flora and Tropical Storm Five – caused very minor or no impact.  In early August, Hurricane Gladys caused severe localized flooding in Mexico, primarily in Mexico City.  Additionally, an offshoot of Gladys inflicted minor impact in Texas. Tropical Storm Elena was a weak tropical storm that moved ashore along Texas in the 1979 Atlantic hurricane season.  The sixth tropical storm of the season, Elena developed from a tropical wave to the south of Louisiana on August 29.  It tracked generally west-northwest, strengthening little before making landfall on Matagorda Island on September 1 as a minimal tropical storm; the storm quickly dissipated over land.  Elena dropped moderate rainfall along its path, causing two direct deaths in Houston from drowning; storm damage was minor, amounting to less than $10 million (1979 USD, $28 million 2007 USD).  Lightning from the storm set fire to an oil supertanker in Houston, causing three indirect deaths and 13 injuries. Tropical Storm Lee was the twelfth named storm and thirteenth system overall of the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season, developing from a broad tropical disturbance over the Gulf on September 1.  It was designated as Tropical Storm Lee the next day.  The system was rather large, and due to drifting, Lee brought flash flooding to the Gulf Coast.  Flooding associated with the rains caused significant property damage in the areas, with drowning deaths reported in both Mississippi and Georgia.  Elsewhere, the storm helped spread wildfires that destroyed homes and killed two people in Texas, and a traffic accident in Alabama resulted in one death.  Rough surf offshore drowned one person in each of these states.  Lee spawned 30 confirmed tornadoes in the United States.  After becoming extratropical, Lee caused historic flooding in Pennsylvania, New York, and Canada, mainly Quebec and Ontario.
