Flash Flood Warning Issued in Lubbock, Texas - cedarnews.net

Doppler radar and rain gauges picked up thunderstorms dumping up to 3 inches of rain over the area, and forecasters say another inch could fall before the warning expires. The Weather Service flagged small creeks and streams as vulnerable, along with urban streets, highways and underpasses, the kind of low-lying spots that flood fast anywhere in the county when rain piles up this quick.

For folks in Lubbock, that means those usual trouble zones could turn dangerous with little warning. Anyone driving between now and 8:30 PM should treat standing water on roads as a real hazard, not a puddle to push through. The warning applies to the whole county, so this isn't isolated to one side of town.

The Weather Service says the water is still rising.
