4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
Severe thunderstorms erupted across the region in an unstable airmass ahead of an approaching upper level trough/low. Although initially isolated to scattered early in the event, the storms eventually merged into a squall line that moved across the region.
