4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
Rainfall of between 2 and 3 inches fell over Comal, Guadalupe and northern Bexar Counties. Isolated totals of 4 inches were reported in Guadalupe County and in the northern part of San Antonio in Bexar County.
Read the full account →Deep tropical moisture in combination with a slowly southward moving cold front helped to generate numerous showers and thunderstorms that produced heavy rainfall and flooding in and around the Bryan and College Station areas.
Read the full account →There was an upper level ridge to the west of the region and an upper trough to the east of the region. Upper level disturbances in the flow aloft as well as thunderstorm outflow boundaries were present.
Read the full account →Severe thunderstorms during the late morning and early afternoon hours produced hail from the northwest Texas panhandle into the south-central Texas panhandle.
Read the full account →An upper low pressure system situated to the west brought large scale lift to north Texas. Southerly winds brought deep rich moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. These and other factors caused numerous thunderstorms to develop.
Read the full account →Flash flooding was reported over eastern Edwards County and western Real Counties due to general 2-3 inch rainfall with up to 5 inches maximum amounts. The worst flooding took place near Camp Wood and the Barksdale area, where flash flooding was knee-deep in some places.
Read the full account →A weak upper level disturbance combined with a modestly unstable air mass over the coastal plains to produce scattered strong to severe thunderstorms during the afternoon.
Read the full account →Significant flooding occurred in the south and southeastern counties when up to 11 of rain fell during the late evening and overnight hours. The flooding rains were caused by large scale lift occurring over a moist but cool boundary layer.

Read the full account →A mid-level trough moved over a moist conditionally unstable airmass. Thunderstorms developed along the seabreeze early in the day and moved inland to Lavaca County. Lightning from one of these storms started a fire at a storage tank battery.
