Local Weather History For May 12th...
The same storm system that pummeled much of southwest Oklahoma on May
11, 1982, continued into north Texas on the 12th. Heavy rain quickly
became the primary concern. In Wichita Falls, more than 4.5 inches of
rain fell on the 12th, after more than half an inch fell on the 11th.
Some homes reportedly had more than eight feet of water in them when
the Holliday and McGrath Creeks rose out of their banks. The heavy
rain of this period, combined with the rest of the season, gave
Wichita Falls one of its wettest springs, with over 20 inches of
rainfall.
