Flash flood problems continued to escalate in western parts of north Texas as several rounds of thunderstorms moved across the area during the day on the 10th. In Wilbarger County in southwest Vernon, three feet of water flooded some homes. Just over an hour later, six other homes were flooded with six to eight inches water. Highway 183 two miles south of Vernon was flooded with one and one-half feet of water from Paradise Creek, and one foot of water covered U.S. 70 west. Finally, a bridge washed out three miles northeast of Vernon. In addition to the flash flooding, severe thunderstorm winds in Archer County downed two-inch limbs six miles southwest of Holliday, and quarter-size hail was reported two miles southwest of Munday in Knox County. After almost 10 consecutive days of thunderstorms across southern Oklahoma and north Texas, flash flooding gave way to widespread river and stream flooding. Moderate to severe river overflows affected many of the Texas tributaries to the Red River and its mainstem across western parts of north Texas. At Vernon, Wilbarger County, the Pease River spilled into northern parts of town and the Vernon State Hospital grounds as the river rose to a crest of 19.1 feet, four feet above flood stage, on the 5th. Highway U.S. 283 northward and U.S. 70 west were blocked. A barn was lost, along with several cattle. Paradise Creek covered U.S. 287 and state roads to the east and south, leaving Vernon isolated from all directions. Firefighters evacuated a dozen homes in northwest and southwest Vernon. Over 30 homes sustained minor flooding, with total damages estimated at about $375,000. In Wilbarger County, Beaver Creek below Santa Rosa Lake closed Highway U.S. 183 and threatened two homesteads near the Waggoner Ranch headquarters, and blocked FM 1181. Five county bridges were washed out or rendered unsafe, costing about $575,000 to repair. Beaver Creek crested at 33 feet on the 5th, nine feet above flood stage at a gaging site nine miles south of Electra. In Wichita Falls, Wichita County, the Wichita River caused varying degrees of minor flooding in areas around Lucy Park, including the Sheraton Hotel and Tanglewood. Three teenage boys were rescued by firefighters, from a bridge in Lucy Park. The Wichita River rose above its flood stage of 18 feet on the 8th and remained above flood stage until the 12th in Wichita Falls. The river crested twice during this time: at 18.5 feet on the 8th and at 19.7 feet on the 11th. Near Burkburnett in Wichita County, the Red River mainstem canceled activities at the Boy Scouts' Camp Perkins, with about four feet of water near its headquarters. Damages to the swimming pool, roads, and other camp facilities were estimated at $60,000. The Red River rose to a crest of 15.4 feet on the 6th, 6.4 feet above flood stage at the site three miles north of Burkburnett. In Quanah, Hardeman County, some residents of Star Street Apartments were evacuated. Highway TX 6 was closed south of town. In and near Chillicothe, Highway U.S. 287 was flooded. An tractor-semitrailer was washed off the road. Farm Rd 1167 was under 12 feet of water.
