|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2003 | Flash Flood | Odessa | 1 killed, $300,000 | A significant flash flood event which resulted in the death of a local teenage girl impacted the city of Odessa during the evening hours of the 24th. Numerous reports of flash flooding, including water in homes and stalled vehicles were received. Several swift water rescues were conducted by the Odessa Fire Department across the city. An 18 year old female was killed when she was swept away by raging flood waters while trying to evacuate her stalled pickup truck. Two passengers were successfully rescued from that particular vehicle. High water resulted in dangerous conditions for motorists throughout the city. A few of the most significant reports were received from the area around Ratliff Stadium (where a high school graduation was scheduled to occur) and along University Street. |
| May 1999 | Hail | Odessa | $85,000,000 | no account filed |
| September 2004 | Flash Flood | West Odessa | $2,000,000 | A small linear convective complex developed over western Ector County during the early evening hours. The complex persisted and remained nearly stationary for almost two hours. Very intense rainfall fell over Monahans Draw near West Odessa.The first reports of flash flooding indicated that high water rendered Farm to Market Road 866, Texas Highway 302, and Interstate 20 impassable. Up to six feet of water was reported crossing low lying areas of Farm to Market Road 866 just north of the Interstate 20 junction. Several vehicles became stalled in high water flowing across the interstate, resulting in high water rescues of stranded motorists.By late evening the swollen Monahans Draw, usually a dry depression, inundated residential areas in West Odessa. The hardest hit areas were near Third and Damascus Streets. The most extensive damage occurred to several trailer parks in the Westcliff, Knox Village, and Manor subdivisions. Rescue crews from three fire departments worked well into the night to remove distressed residents from homes and vehicles that were threatened by high water. One fire engine stalled in the flood waters. Many families were displaced to emergency shelters in other portions of the city and in Odessa. More than forty homes suffered serious damage. Four trailer homes and two permanent homes were destroyed. Another fifteen single family homes experienced major damage from the flood waters.Thunderstorms dissipated over Ector County shortly before midnight CST. This brought a temporary reprieve from the excessive rainfall. Runoff, however, continued to present a threat of flash flooding through the nighttime hours. As a result local emergency management officials continued to report major flash flooding along Monahans Draw through the night. During the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday the 28th, another band of showers and thunderstorms moved north across Ector County. Brief heavy rainfall from this activity aggravated the flash flood situation. By 06:35 CST local officials were again at work to evacuate residents near the intersections of Tripp and Twenty-Third Streets and Tenth and Redondo Streets. Between two and three feet of water was reported rushing through those city streets and threatened numerous homes. At least three high water rescues also were conducted to bring stranded motorists to the safety of dry ground.Rainfall ended over Ector County by 09:00 CST. Significant runoff and associated flash flooding of low lying areas prevented access to much of the city through the early afternoon hours. |

| May 2007 | Flash Flood | Odessa | $500,000 | Widespread flooding occurred in Odessa on Wednesday morning including damage to at least 100 homes.

Several vehicles were stranded in anywhere from two to four feet of water. Eleven inches of water pooled in the basement of the Ector County Library while two to three inches was found in the Ector County Health Department. On the following day, newspapers reported that 25 to 40 families sought assistance from the American Red Cross. Ector County Road, Bridge, and Traffic Department employees worked overtime pumping water out of flooded streets on subsequent days.||During the storm, high schools closed their campuses to off campus travel, prompting a need for food to be delivered to the campuses to feed all the students who normally travel off campus for lunch. Odessa firefighters and EMS personnel responded to 95 calls for high water rescues during these storms. |
