Aug 24, 1998
Showers and thunderstorms left over from the devastating rainfall over Val Verde County continued to spread slowly eastward, moving into Uvalde, Edwards and Real Counties. Although rainfall amounts were only 2 to 3 inches, the soil was already saturated from the previous night's rain and all creeks and streams were swollen and near flooding. Flash flooding redeveloped before sunrise and continued into the morning.
