A terrible flood causes heavy damage unseen in years. Bridges, fences, crops, and land suffer extensive destruction across multiple areas. Local officials assess impact and begin recovery efforts. Emergency measures are deployed as residents report widespread inundation.
The unprecedented rainfall caused a severe flood across the Brazos basin and surrounding counties. Rail lines suffered washouts and bridges failed while trains were delayed or stopped. Homes and farms flooded with crops damaged and stock at risk.
The traveler reached Bryan late yesterday and reported about twenty passengers aboard the Benchley train. He noted a mile and a half of open track with Campbell's Creek bridge washed out above and Still Creek bridge below, plus a wash north of town. Repairs using cribbing under rails with ties were incomplete at the last report.
