What the National Weather Service wrote

A man's car was swept off the road due to fast moving water at the 3300 block of Bell Springs road. The man's body was recovered the following day after the water had receded.

The wider storm

Convection from the previous day left a number of outflow boundaries across South Central Texas. These interacted with a mid to upper level shortwave trough to trigger thunderstorms. Some of these storms produced tornadoes, large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rain that led to flash flooding.

Began near Dripping Spgs (30.2459, -98.1258).
