| episode_narrative | Tropical-like rainfall occurred over portions of west Texas during the last weekend in September. On Sunday the 26th, widespread flash floods resulted from heavy rains that accompanied a complex of warm topped convection that propagated slowly from the mountains of southwest Texas and the Big Bend northeast across the Permian Basin.A sudden onset of dangerous flash flooding conditions at sunrise caught campers by surprise in the Davis Mountains. At least four people were isolated by raging flood waters at two camp sites in rural portions of that county. Campers at one site were stranded for nearly twenty-four hours before a rescue helicopter was used to lift them to safety.The threat of significant flash flooding spread northeast across the Upper Trans Pecos and the west Texas Permian Basin through the afternoon and evening hours. This resulted in dangerous driving conditions across portions of the area. A car was swept off of a highway by flood waters in Gaines County during the early evening hours. Serious injuries or deaths were narrowly avoided when two semi-trucks lost control and hydroplaned off of a rain soaked Interstate 20 in Howard County. One truck barely missed emergency workers who were attending to the initial accident. The heavy rainfall began to subside across most of the region by late evening on the 26th. Flash flooding continued in some locations as runoff persisted through much of the night. No injuries were reported across the area. |
| event_narrative | Heavy rainfall caused ponding of water on many driving surfaces near Big Spring. A semi-truck hydroplaned off of Interstate 20 on the north side of the city. A second semi-truck lost control and jack-knifed when the driver tried to avoid a collision with emergency workers responding to the first incident. |
