Between May 27 to June 7, numerous days of heavy rain led to extreme flooding across the Southwestern United States, which would later be classified as a “historic” flooding event by the National Weather Service.[1][2] In the Amarillo metropolitan area, over 15 inches (38 cm) of rain fell.[1] Over 200 people had to be evacuated in the city of Amarillo.[3][4][1] Several homes were completely destroyed by the floods.[5][6] The Canadian River reached moderate level flood stage, peaking at 10.53 feet (3.21 m), over 3 feet (0.91 m) above flood stage.[7][8][9]
