We got more than 4 inches of rain last night. And, there was flooding in Lubbock http://kfyo.com/evening-thunderstorm-creates-flooding-and-power-outages-in-lubbock/. Even today, there were places in town where there was water on the roads, and the evidence of flooding remained.
Like so many places in the southwest, Lubbock is not set up for large amounts of rain in small amounts of time. The drainage is awful. The ground is heavily clayed, and is either hard pan dry or, now waterlogged.
So, of course it floods in Lubbock when we get a lot of rain in a short period of time.
