4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
Thunderstorms developed along a cold front in northern Mexico and moved into South Central Texas. Some of these storms grew to be supercells and produced giant hail, damaging wind gusts, and one tornado. Some areas along Highway 90 had multiple rounds of supercells.

Read the full account →A weak upper level short wave approaching West Texas combined with a surface dryline in eastern New Mexico to create scattered severe thunderstorms on the evening of the 14th.
Read the full account →Scattered thunderstorms initially developed over the western South Plains on the afternoon of the 24th under a very unstable atmosphere. Relatively weak atmospheric flow for late May kept most of these storms from becoming severe.
Read the full account →An upper trough was over the region with abundant low-level moisture present across West Texas. A cold front was moving southward from southwest Oklahoma and there was a nearly stationary outflow boundary across Ector County from storms the previous day.

Read the full account →A thunderstorm complex moved from the Rio Grande Plains into the Rio Grande Valley during the morning and early afternoon hours on May 19th. The slow forward speed of this complex led to heavy, and locally flooding rain across much of the lower Rio Grande Valley, where rainfall…
