| event_narrative | A strong upper level storm system and associated slow moving cold front moved into the southern plains on the 20th. Rich moisture spread across the area ahead of the low pressure system. Widespread rain and thunderstorms formed and moved repeatedly over the same locations. Rainfall amounts of two to four inches were common across the eastern two thirds of the area with isolated amounts in excess of six inches falling along a Temple-Midlothian-Bonham line. The excessive rain caused widespread flooding. Numerous cars were stranded and many homes were damaged by flood waters. Two people drown in flood waters when their automobile was washed off the road.This heavy rain event contributed to an unusually wet month over much of the central and eastern portions of North Texas. The Dallas/Fort Worth area experienced its third wettest December on record in 1997 and the Waco area experienced its second wettest on record. The strong El Nino that has been ongoing for months likely contributed to the unusually high precipitation. |
