Wider weather episode

Devastating and historic flash flooding occurred in northern and northeast portions of San Angelo, with numerous water rescues, many streets and houses completely flooded, and 1 fatality. The combination of abundant tropical moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry and a weak upper level storm system, led to very slow moving or stationary thunderstorms producing very heavy and efficient rainfall. The heaviest rainfall amounts were 10 to 16 inches in northern San Angelo where the majority of the flash flooding occurred.
