Event narrative (NOAA)
Heavy rain from Tropical Storm Hermine produced flash flooding which closed I-35 in both directions in Georgetown which caused one death. A man was found dead in a drainage field on September 14th. Police believe on September 8th at around 2am he was forced to stop his car because I-35 was closed with several feet of water over the highway. He pulled off on an exit ramp and discovered it was also flooded. Relatives said that he called them and said he couldn���t get home but was going to check the depth of the water. He got out of his vehicle and tried to walk through the flooded water to determine its depth and apparently was sucked down through a drainage culvert. The flooding also caused the evacuation of approximately 100 homes along Brushy Creek near Round Rock.
