Rain and flooding spread through West Texas from Altus to Alpine with up to an inch falling, accelerating at dawn and washing out roads and delaying rail traffic from Fort Worth to Siptoe.

The storm caused damage estimates and gusty winds uprooting derricks in Richland oil fields while towns like Corsicana and Abilene recorded meaningful rainfall benefitting crops and livestock.
