The wider storm
Tropical Depression Bill brought flooding to parts of North Texas. The counties that experienced the most significant flooding were Wise and Montague Counties, and the northern parts of Parker County. Over a foot of rain fell in parts of Montague County. The ground in many areas was still saturated from heavy rainfall in April and May, and the heavy rainfall from TD Bill quickly overflowed creeks, streams, lakes, and roads. In some areas it took over 24 hours for the water to drain. Heavy rainfall and strong storms in remnant bands across the southeastern counties of the CWA also caused some flooding and damage as the TD moved north of the area. Unfortunately, one boy drowned during this event in Bell County. Minimal wind damage was reported but two marinas at Lake Lewisville suffered significant damage.
Began near Nolanville (31.0668, -97.6331).
