Event narrative (NOAA)
Flood water from the heavy rain event on the 9th and 10th pushed down the Sabine River. The river stage at Bon Weir crested on the 13th. The record crest was 0.77 feet above the previous record that was set in 1913. Flood waters reached to Louisiana Highways 111 and 389 and nearly completely covered areas to the west of the roadways. This pushed water into the town of Merryville. Around 300 structures were flooded.
