This storm became nearly stationary, producing radar estimated rainfall as high as six to eight inches in a 2 hour period. A NWS Storm Survey was conducted the following day, finding water still flowing across several farm to market roads as well as numerous areas of mud. One of these actually caused a road grader to become stuck while trying to remove mud off of a roadway near Kalgary. A high water rescue was also performed in this area the previous night. The abundant rainfall brought swiftly flowing water back to nearby portions of the Brazos River. |
