Heavy rainfall caused the Colorado River to climb out of its banks. The river crested initially at 21.1 feet on the evening of the 3rd, or about 3.1 feet above flood stage. However, additional rainfall brought a second crest of 24.3 feet on the evening of the 4th. Although the Colorado River crested 6.3 feet above flood stage and threatened several homes in Ballinger, no siginificant damage was reported.

What these are

Flood
Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
