Event narrative (NOAA)
General rainfall of 1 to 2 inches caused brief flash flooding in the area just east of Kendalia. Between 2100 CST and 2130CST, a woman was returning home and while driving on Crabapple Lane in eastern Kendall County and attempted to cross a low water crossing on her drive. The vehicle was apparently washed off the road or partially off the road. Sometime later, her husband noticed the headlights and got in his vehicle to check. He attempted to wade through the water to rescue his wife. Both were drowned in the flood.
