Flash Flood · Aug 10, 2025. An upper-level trough was situated such that strong ascent will be supported. While the strongest surface forcing is farther west, enough convection initiated and moving eastward into the CWA. While staying discrete at first, it quickly developed into a MCS. Through the middle of the night a cohesive cold pool developed and generated 2 80+ mph wind gust reports.
Flash Flood · Aug 3, 2020. A subtle shortwave trough in northwest flow aloft helped produce early morning thunderstorms. These early morning storms were isolated but slow moving allowing for rainfall totals up to 6 inches.
Flash Flood · Jun 1, 2019. An isolated severe thunderstorm produced large hail and subsequently flash flooding.
Flash Flood · May 27, 2015. Thunderstorms developed in a very unstable atmosphere aided by a short wave trough and residual outflow boundaries.

Every colour on the map above is a place on this drawing: where the ground sits relative to the flood FEMA plans for.
If a building in Haskell County is in a high-risk zone (A or V) and its mortgage comes from a federally regulated or insured lender, or is federally backed, flood insurance is required.
Outside those zones it is optional, and often worth having: from 2014 to 2024 nearly one-third of NFIP claims came from outside the high-risk Special Flood Hazard Area. Since Risk Rating 2.0, NFIP premiums are set for each building, so the only reliable price is a quote: FloodSmart.gov or a local agent.
