Local Weather History For August 2nd...
1995: The remnants of Tropical Storm Dean produced six to ten inches of rain in Childress and Collingsworth counties. At
the Highway 83 underpass in Childress, water reached depths of ten feet and stranded a trucker who had to be rescued by
boat. Highway 287 from Childress to southeast of Vernon had to be closed. Also, several secondary roads in Hall county
were completely washed out.
