A few good Samaritans from Cross Timbers Offroads try to pull Danetta Blanchard’s Mercury
out of a flooded barrow ditch Sunday after flooding west of Krum on Odneal Road. Residents
said Blanchard was one of several people rescued from floodwaters by the Texas Army Na-
tional Guard.

While rising waters may have
surprised motorists and people
at home, local emergency offi-
cials knew that several days of
rain were in the forecast, Gonza-
lez said. During advance plan-
ning, they asked the Texas Army
National Guard to be ready to
send its helicopter and a dozen
trucks equipped to traverse high
water, Gonzalez said.
The trucks came down Sat-
urday from Wichita Falls and
were positioned at the Denton
armory, he said.
However, two major lines of
storms hampered rescue crews.
One storm rolled through early
Sunday morning and another
spawned a tornado in Argyle
and Denton in the early after-
noon.

“The tornado put a wrinkle
in it,” Gonzalez said.
According to the National
Weather Service rain gauges, be-
tween 1.5 and 2.5 inches fell in
northwestern Denton County
from Saturday to Sunday. How-
ever, radar estimates showed
that some areas received more
rain, said Matt Stalley, a weather
service meteorologist based in
Fort Worth.
“Closer to the Red River in
the past three days, the totals are
closer to 3 to 5 inches,” Stalley
said.

gerous high water.
Police directed traffic at the
uations where drivers have ig-
nored our blockades and subse-
quently gotten into trouble with

In some places, he said, crews
are putting out piles of road ma-
terial to make it impossible for
drivers to go around barricades.
On average, floods kill more

cording to the weather service.
