Description:

Quite possibly the most voluminous flooding in the recorded history of the State of Texas occurred during late December 1991 and into January 1992. Virtually the entire eastern half of the State experienced significant flooding, though four major river basins were hardest hit: the Trinity, the Brazos, the Colorado, and the Guadalupe. Several locations along these and numerous other rivers and streams observed record stages or flows, while at least six major reservoirs also set new elevation and/or storage records. The flooding claimed at least 13 lives and caused damages (primarily agricultural) estimated at close to $100 million. A NOAA disaster survey team assembled for its first meeting in Fort Worth, Texas, on the afternoon of January 5, 1992. All aspects of weather and flood warning systems-from data acquisition to user response—were surveyed to determine NOAA’s effectiveness and to recommend improvements if deficiencies were found. This report gives the results and findings of the survey team
