What the National Weather Service wrote

Multiple media outlets reported the tragic drownings of 9 members of the U.S. Military in a flooded creek on Fort Hood Army Base the morning of June 2. The soldiers were killed when their truck overturned in rain-swollen Owl Creek during a military training exercise. Three other soldiers in the truck were rescued.

The wider storm

An upper level low pressure center moved eastward into Central Texas late Wednesday June 1 and Thursday June 2, meandered over the area Friday June 3, then dropped southward to South Texas on Saturday June 4. Deep Gulf moisture contributed to the efficient rain producing thunderstorms associated with the system, creating flood and flash flood issues across mostly central and southern portions of the region.

Began near Cold Spg (31.2728, -97.6228).
