Event narrative (NOAA)
An elderly woman was swept away in her car by floodwaters early Friday morning along Deer Creek in far southern Tarrant County. Her body was found inside the car about a mile downstream from the bridge where she was overcome by floodwaters. One deputy attempted to rescue the woman but was herself swept away by the swift waters. The deputy was rescued after clinging to a tree for a couple of hours.
