On June 14, 1935, a disastrous flood crested the Llano River at 41.5 feet (10 m), washing out the two truss spans, as well as the center pier, of the 1930 bridge of State Highway 9 across the Llano River in Mason County, Texas.”

Mason, the town this property stands in, in 68 storm reports between 1994 and 2025: 40 hail, 14 thunderstorm wind, 10 flash flood, 2 tornado.

opens the federal record of that event.
A NWS survey team reported several trees down, a trading auction's facility roof was severely damage, and an old barn was also damaged. The team found no damage to nearby structures. Law Enforcement Officials reported many power lines down across the town of Mason.
Four to eight inches of rain fell over most of Mason County but much higher amounts fell in a few areas.In the town of Mason 10 to 11 inches of rain was reported and in northeast Mason County, there was an unofficial report of 25 inches of rain. Farm-to-Market roads were closed throughout the county.
The supercell that developed in northern Concho County reached Mason. The storm produced hail across the northern half of the city, and the largest hail stones were noted just to the east of town. Mason was spared considerable damage with the main core of the storm passing within a mile or two of town.
Thunderstorms produced large hail in a strip one mile long and three miles wide west of the city of Mason. Trees were stripped of their leaves and hail was piled up to 12 inches deep in places. Cars were dented and windows were broken in homes and buildings. Grass and vegetation was reported to have been beaten to the ground in the storm. The thunderstorm moved northeastward but produced no large hail in Mason.
A National Weather Service Rainfall Observer located about 3 miles southwest of Mason reported water flowing across low water crossings. He also reported small streams and creeks were also flooding in that same area.
