4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
A slow moving upper level low along with plentiful moisture and a strong low level jet produced strong to severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall over portions of South Texas during the late evening of March 8th and early morning hours of March 9th.
Read the full account →Strong upper level disturbances combined with above average moisture levels and favorable upper level wind patterns to produce a round of severe thunderstorms that eventually trained and produced excessive rainfall and flash flood during the afternoon hours of the 26th and on…

Read the full account →Numerous slow-moving thunderstorms developed late this afternoon from near Levelland northeast to Floydada, before expanding into the northern Rolling Plains after sunset.
Read the full account →Around 1400 CST, a dryline focused discrete thunderstorm development in the far southeast Texas Panhandle. Very strong instability with mixed layer CAPEs around 3500 J/kg allowed these storms to intensify with supercell structures observed at times.
