Local Weather History For August 15th...
|
|
Some of the worst flooding that ever occurred in western north Texas
happened on August 15, 1971. Heavy rain began on the 14th, but the worst of the rain and most of the flooding was on the 15th. On that day, rainfall averaged four to 11 inches. At least 10 families were forced to evacuate their homes along the Wichita River as the water rapidly rose. The river rose so high that its swift-flowing waters undercut several streets, causing them to collapse. The official rainfall at the National Weather Service Office in Wichita Falls on the 15th was 4.52 inches, making this the wettest August day ever observed in the city. |
