This front stalled over southern Texas combined with an upper level storm system over the Southwestern U.S. and produced 4 to 7 inches of rain in the southern portion of Sutton County. Several streams quickly overflowed their banks. Three people narrowly escaped as their research vehicle was swept away when they crossed a flooded road. They had to be rescued by helicopter.
