Flooding is basically inevitable because our grounds can’t absorb more water. We haven’t had long enough a break to allow them handle what they already have.
DALLAS — As has been the rather unrelenting case with the weather of late, thunderstorms wreaked havoc across North Texas on Sunday night, leading to flash floods across the region.
Many in the metroplex picked up between one to three inches of rain in just a few hours to cap the weekend.
The rain that we’ve had lately has been anything but gentle. Most of the waves we’ve seen this spring have been absolute downpours — and it just keeps adding up.
This is the seventh wettest year to date for DFW, and the eighth wettest spring on record.
Most area lakes are several feet above conservation levels.
Worse, we keep getting flash flood warnings because soils are overly saturated — meaning that, anytime we get heavy thunderstorms, the water has nowhere to go.
Flooding is pretty much inevitable right now because grounds cannot absorb anymore water. We have not had a long enough break to allow them handle what they already have.
Take a look at some of the flooding North Texans dealt with on Sunday evening:
