Description:

Unprecedented rainfall across the state of Texas in May 2015 produced flooding that claimed at least 24 lives across the state. The most devastating single event over this period occurred on 23–24 May along the Blanco River, where a fast moving floodwave resulted in eleven fatalities in the town of Wimberley. The storm event resulted in the flood of record at the USGS gauge in Wimberley which has collected data since the 1920s.
