Heavy rain fell across Martin County and produced flash flooding. There was a lane closure on SH 349 due to high water in the passing lane. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.

The wider storm

There was an upper level low over far West Texas which provided atmospheric lift. An abundance of moisture was across the area. The lift and moisture combined to produce rain which resulted in flash flooding across the Permian Basin.
