Thunderstorms containing very heavy rainfall moved very slowly across the south central Texas Panhandle during the overnight hours. These storms produced four to five inches of rain or more in several locations...with nearly ten inches in a few locations. A record twenty-four hour rainfall fell at Rick Husband International Airport in Amarillo. Although no injuries were reported...the high water caused extensive damage to buildings and equipment and stranded vehicles.
