Event narrative (NOAA)
Heavy rains led to flash flooding that generated water levels of 2 to 4 feet deep on many low-lying roads, especially near existing lakes. Several vehicles stalled in the deep water and were damaged. A 68-year-old man left a tavern around 2245 CST and drove into a flooded area. He attempted to walk/swim away from his vehicle and drowned.
