Thunderstorms moving repeatedly over the same areas during the early morning hours of the 23rd resulted in locally heavy rainfall of between four and six inches over the upper Brazos River basin. Minor flooding occurred along the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River through southern Stonewall County. No structural damage was reported. The river flooded a portion of a roadside park near the gage at Aspermont 10S and farmland along the river southeast and east of Old Glory.
What these are
- Hail
- Hail three-quarters of an inch or larger, or smaller hail that caused damage, filed with the largest stone measured.
- Flood
