Weighty downpours across the dry spell stricken the Dallas-Fort Worth region on Monday and made roads flood, lowering vehicles as authorities cautioned drivers to remain off the streets and water-saturated a few homes and organizations.
“The Dallas-Fort Worth region was essentially ground zero for the heaviest downpour short-term,” said Daniel Huckaby, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Heavy Flood in Dallas
The authority National Weather Service record station at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport revealed 9.19 inches (23 centimeters) of downpour in the 24 hours finishing at 2 p.m. Monday. That positioned second for the main 10 most downpours north of 24 hours in Dallas on record. The most were 9.57 inches (24.3 centimeters) that fell Sept. 4-5, 1932.
“We’ve been in dry spell conditions, so the ground absorbed a ton of it yet when you get that much downpour over that short a timeframe, it’s unquestionably going to cause flooding, and that is the thing we saw, most certainly in the metropolitan regions here,” Huckaby said.
