Hey group… its been awhile but the weather conditions today merit an email… By now we are all aware of the heavy rainfall affecting the region, but may not be immediately aware of the flash flooding occurring around the region. Right now, several flash flood reports have come in from the area, including Plano, Dallas, Fort Worth and Saginaw. Major intersections in Plano near the George Bush Turnpike are submerged, low water crossings in Dallas are under several feet of water, and intersections around Fort Worth are impassible due to water. All stations in the area show at least 3 inches of rain with some showing 6 to 7 inches in the last 24 hours, which easily surpasses the criteria needed for flash flooding conditions. Below is radar estimated total rainfall. You can see Fort Worth is showing a large swath of 7 to 8 inch estimates so far. Stay safe everyone, and do not attempt to drive into submerged intersections!
