4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
Thunderstorms containing very heavy rainfall moved very slowly across the south central Texas Panhandle during the overnight hours. These storms produced four to five inches of rain or more in several locations...with nearly ten inches in a few locations.

Read the full account →Southeasterly flow in the boundary layer brought deep moisture from the Gulf of Mexico into South Central Texas. An upper trough pushed a cold front into this airmass and produced heavy rain that led to flash flooding.
Read the full account →An upper level disturbance dropping southeast through the Plains led to thunderstorm development on May 1st and 2nd across much of North and Central Texas. Storm initiation occurred in the vicinity of remnant outflow boundaries left over from the previous nights' convection.

Read the full account →Scattered thunderstorms developed over the central and eastern Permian Basin of west Texas as a cold front began to work its way south into the area. A few of these storms became severe and produced large hail and flash flooding.
Read the full account →The combination of a well defined surface dryline, weak upper level disturbances, and strong to extreme instability, resulted in scattered afternoon and evening severe thunderstorms across portions of the Big Country and Heartland areas.
