Lytle Creek Road was made impassible due to debris and flash flooding. 17 people had to be airlifted from the Bonita Falls area after they were cut off by flooding in Lytle Creek. The creek, which normally runs about 5 feet wide, was running well over 200 feet wide by the end of the rains. Flooding brought down power lines, flooded homes, and caused landslides.
