Event narrative (NOAA)

As the storms moved into Bexar County, they spread a general rainfall of 1 inch across the county. Highest amounts were 6 inches southwest of Von Ormy. FM471 and FM476 closed from afternoon into early morning. Around 10 pm on the evening of November 16, a woman attempted to cross a flooded low bridge over Leon Creek on foot in northwest San Antonio, near the intersection of Ingram and Wurzbach. She was warned by a public works department employee not to go across but she did so anyway. She was swept into the flood waters and drowned.
