Round Rock, Texas
Photographer states :: More flash flooding - The Memorial Day holiday brought sustained heavy rains to Central Texas, bringing more flooding and flash flooding to the area. At least six Texans lost their lives over this period of sustained rainfall, most if not all from attempting to cross flooded roadways. These photos show water cresting the low water bridge at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock. The Round Rock Police were notified before these photos were taken and the gates to this crossing were then locked, preventing any problems as the water continued to rise. Remember, when faced with water over the roadway, "turn around, don't drown."
DENVER -- A strong cold front nosed into northern Colorado early Tuesday, bringing with it much cooler temperatures, gusty north winds, rain, hail and tornado warnings.
Residents in Denver were startled by grape-sized hail on Tuesday.
Small, pea-sized hail fell so fast in places that storm drains became clogged, prompting minor street-flooding. The hail made it seem as if a fresh blanket of snow had fallen in the area.
Brazil Redd was outside when the rain and hail began to fall. She said, "It hurt. I probably got bruises. It was huge."
Motorists scurried under bridges or into garages and pedestrians scrambled for cover to avoid being pelted. Up to 4 inches of hail fell at an area amusement park.
Heavy rain also soaked the Plains states from Colorado up to Minnesota on Tuesday, causing minor flooding in some places.
The National Weather Service has issued tornado warnings for areas southeast of Denver and for parts of Nebraska.
