| episode_narrative | Another heavy rain event began to develop across northern Texas during the early morning hours of the 19th as a strong upper level storm system approached the area from the southwestern United States. This event unfolded in a similar fashion to the heavy rain event of the 12th. Deep moisture returned to the region ahead of the approaching storm and widespread rain and thunderstorms developed over the area early on the 19th. A cold front pushed into North Texas and helped provide further focus for showers, thunderstorms and heavy rainfall as the precipitation moved repeatedly over the same places. By the evening of the 19th, generally one to three inches of rain had fallen across most of northern Texas. Heavier rains of two to five inches had occurred west of a Gainesville, Arlington to Waco line including 4.80 inches in Annetta and 4.25 inches in Saginaw. Another one to two inches of rain fell across most of North Texas on the 20th with a heavier band of two to four inch amounts along a Jacksboro, Stephenville to Goldthwaite line. Soils were nearly saturated from earlier rains during the month and these two days of very heavy rainfall resulted in serious and widespread flash flooding. Numerous rescues had to be performed as motorists attempting to drive through flood waters were either stranded or washed off the road. One fatality resulted when a car was washed into a ditch by a flooded stream. Flood waters washed away portions of roads and resulted in significant damage. |
