4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
An upper trough was off the Pacific coast and was moving inland over California and Arizona. This put West Texas and southeast New Mexico under southwest winds aloft. A dryline was backed up against the mountains leaving good moisture with 50 degree dewpoints off to the east.

Read the full account →High instability but low wind shear environment across the region did set up for thunderstorms to develop across portions of the Texas Panhandle. Thunderstorms that developed would be very slow moving to nearly stationary.

Read the full account →Abundant moisture and moderate instability fueled the development of scattered to numerous thunderstorms late this Friday afternoon through the overnight.
Read the full account →Torrential rainfall fell across the western Brush Country from September 26th through the 28th. Generally, 5 to 10 inches of rain fell during the period with some areas over northern Webb County into eastern Dimmit County received from 15 to 20 inches of rain.

Read the full account →A highly sheared environment coupled with a very unstable airmass resulted in the development of strong tornadoes during the early morning hours of May 18. At least seven of the eight tornadoes damaged or destroyed several hundred homes across portions of West Central Texas.

Read the full account →An upper level disturbance interacting with an unstable airmass triggered the development of a line of thunderstorms. This line of storms moved in from the west and caused damaging thunderstorms winds and a dust storm mainly along and west of a line from Anson to Robert Lee.
