Four to eight inches of rainfall fell during the morning of the 10th causing water levels to quickly rise. This flooded roadways and around 33 homes.
The wider storm
A cut off upper low over West Texas and a stalled frontal boundary over Southeast Texas produced multiple days of very heavy rainfall over the region. Widespread flash flooding occurred across the area with totals ranging from 5 to 20 inches. The highest rainfall total occurred at the Toledo Bend Dam with 15 to 20 inches of rainfall common over the reservoir. This pushed the lake level to an all time high of 174.36 feet which is several inches higher than the previous record crest from 1989. During the event a strong onshore flow also kept tides elevated.
