Moderate to heavy rainfall accumulations from 5 to 15+ inches in Hill Country brought much-needed relief to long-term drought in south-central Texas. However, these rains caused severe flash flooding across parts of the region. While some reservoir levels improved this week, long-term drought remains in parts of Texas.
