Local Weather History For May 4th...

2015 (5th-6th): Historic flooding from incredible rainfall totals of 6-12 inches occurred over central and southern Lynn
County this evening. Multiple rounds of slow-moving storms trained over the same areas of Lynn County with additional,
but lighter, rainfall continuing through the morning of the 5th. Nearly all roads in Lynn County were closed and the city
of Tahoka evacuated some residents and motorists to Lubbock and Brownfield. Schools in Tahoka were closed on the 5th as
many roads remained impassable from standing water. In Garza County near Southland, a child suffered a head injury after
the car it was in hyrdoplaned abruptly. Less severe flooding occurred elsewhere over the South Plains, including Lubbock.
Regionally, total damages to property and wheat crops could exceed $300M.
