00:00Two Texas counties saw months of drainage struggle in a single afternoon, when the rain started falling too fast to
00:06handle.
00:06The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning Sunday for hail, and Lamb counties, after 2 to 3 inches
00:13of rain, fell near the town of Spade.
00:15With forecasters warning another 1 to 1.5 inches was still possible.
00:20The warning covered flash flooding of small creeks, streams, urban areas, highways, streets, and underpasses across both counties in the
00:28South Plains region.
00:30Forecasters stressed that most flood deaths happen inside vehicles, not outside them, and urged drivers to turn around, rather than
00:37cross flooded roads, no matter how shallow they look.
00:40The warning ran from 4.28 to 5.30 p.m. Central Time, leaving standing water across roadways well after
00:47the rain had passed.
