NEW UPDATES On POWERFUL Floods SLAMMING Texas - Dallas HISTORICAL RAIN RECORD

The remnants of Hurricane Polo just dropped more rain on Dallas in one morning than the city had seen in July, August and September put together, drove the Llano River from one foot to seventeen feet in a day, shut every westbound lane of Interstate 30 in Fort Worth, pushed a thousand gallons of sewage a minute out of the ground, and stalled more than a thousand flights at one airport. And the storm that did it died in Mexico. The flood watch over Dallas has just been extended by twelve hours. A second round of storms is coming up from the south on the Friday commute. And this time it is not falling on dry ground. IN THIS VIDEO • Fort Worth: I-30 at Chapel Creek under water, 400 emergency calls by noon, sewer overflows at 1,000 gallons a minute, crews "walking them through the water" • Dallas: 2 to 3 inches an hour, White Rock Creek two feet over flood stage, the Trinity forecast to 34.1 feet (flood stage 30), 15,000 without power, 1,132 delays and 324 cancellations at DFW • The Hill Country: 7 inches upstream of Junction; the Llano from 1 foot to 17 feet; the flood wave at Llano; the Highland Lakes and "conditions could change" • The Panhandle: the Canadian River at 10 feet, above its 1996 mark — "primitive campers and recreational vehicles in imminent danger" • Why Thursday was "a 4 or 5 on a scale of 1 to 10": a 67-day dry streak, 83% of Texas in drought, and ground that drank the first round • Why Friday is different: the watch extended to 7 PM, storms on the commute, 1 to 4 more inches east of I-35, "isolated worst-case" 5 to 10 • What a "10" looks like: Mesquite, August 22, 2022 — 11.66 inches, 39 water rescues, one death • What has not happened: no deaths, no flash flood emergency, no river record, no gauge at 8 inches — as of 5:42 AM Friday SOURCES CBS News Texas (live blog; Oct 2, 5:42 AM) · Dallas Morning News (Jamie Landers, Oct 1) · KERA / Texas Public Radio (James Hartley, Oct 1) · National Weather Service Fort Worth (Tom Bradshaw; Trinity River flood warning, Oct 1) · National Weather Service San Angelo (Llano River warnings, Oct 1) · National Weather Service Amarillo (Canadian River warning, Sept 30) · CBS Austin (Oct 1) · Lower Colorado River Authority · Washington Post (Oct 1) · FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (Oct 1; Aug 22, 2022) · NBC DFW (Aug 2022) · KENS 5 · Austin American-Statesman · Fort Worth Fire Department (Craig Trojacek) Crisis Radar covers the water, the ground and the structures Americans live on top of.
