| July 2021 | Flash Flood | Farmersville | $30,000 | A woman was rescued from flash flooding near Farmersville. Deputy sheriffs responded to a county road just northwest of Farmersville, where a woman was trapped in a vehicle that had been swept off the road and wedged between two trees. The Jeep was almost completely submerged. A law officer attached a tow strap to himself and waded about 40 feet into the water, then broke a window to help the woman out of the vehicle. The deputy attached the tow strap to her, and another deputy helped pull them to safety. |
