After repeated rounds of heavy rain associated with a stationary frontal boundary, record flooding on the Maquoketa River resulted in the failure of the earthen berm on the south side of the Lake Delhi/Hartwick Lake dam during the late morning and afternoon of July 24.  The dam failure resulted in flash flooding of residences along the Maquoketa River immediately downstream of the dam.  In addition, the dam failure emptied out the 9 mile stretch of the Maquoketa River that constituted Lake Delhi/Hartwick Lake.

Record flooding on the Maquoketa River resulted in the failure of the earthen berm on the south side of the Lake Delhi/Hartwick Lake dam during the late morning and afternoon of July 24.  The dam failure resulted in flash flooding of residences along the Maquoketa River immediately downstream of the dam, including portions of Hopkinton.  In addition, the dam failure emptied out the 9 mile stretch of the Maquoketa River that constituted Lake Delhi/Hartwick Lake.
In Hopkinton, a few homes, several garages, outbuildings, parks and roads flooded.
By the time the flood waters reached Monticello, the flood wave from the dam failure had largely been absorbed in the larger crest due to the ongoing record flooding of the Maquoketa River.
Please see the Storm Data narrative for the record flooding on the Maquoketa River for details on the damage due to the flooded Maquoketa River, including the homes at Lake Delhi.

Much like the previous day, most severe weather focused south of the Nebraska and Kansas border on this Sunday afternoon and evening. However, one severe storm crept just far enough north of the state line to produce a damaging EF2 tornado in the community of Superior in southern Nuckolls County.
The storm complex that eventually produced this tornado initially developed across Northwest Kansas in the vicinity of a nearly stationary east-west surface front, as a subtle mid-level shortwave ejected from a large-scale western United States trough. As these storms snuck into far South Central Nebraska out of North Central Kansas, the synoptic environment was quite supportive of severe weather, featuring deep-layer wind shear of 40 knots, and MLCAPE values around 3500 J/kg. The low-level shear environment was also favorable for tornadoes, with 0-1 km shear values around 25 knots, and 0-1 km storm relative helicity of at least 300 m2/s2. The storm that produced the Superior tornado was essentially an embedded supercell on the north end of a squall line, associated with a bookend vortex that first developed within the line in North Central Kansas.
Around the same time as the Superior tornado, a separate area of strong to severe storms flared up several counties to the north, resulting in a quarter-sized hail report from Valley County.

Thunderstorm winds downed many trees across the northern half of Crawford County.
Scattered thunderstorms, developing in the residual shear zone left behind by Hurricane Alex more than a day earlier, produced additional rainfall across the Upper Valley and Brush Country of Deep South Texas on July 2nd.  One of these storms strengthened over northern Jim Hogg County into southern Duval County, and fed on the low level rotation to generate a mini-supercell which quickly dropped a tornado in Hebbronville.
Damage was sufficient to allow the area to be placed into the Federal Disaster Declaration area, lumped in with flood/river flood damage near and along the Rio Grande.

Tornado in JIM HOGG, TEXAS
From 02-JUL-10 16:09:00 to 02-JUL-10 16:15:00 (CST-6)
Location: HEBBRONVILLE
Tornado F-scale: EF1
Property damage: 1.50M
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado was reported in the Hebbronville area by the border patrol and public.
A tornado touched down in the Hebbronville area just after 5 pm, flipping a tractor trailer, uprooting trees, snapping large limbs, and causing a gas leak.  The tornado knocked out power to at least 1762 AEP Power customers, more than half of the town. The tornado formed along a remnant shear axis left behind after Hurricane Alex dissipated in Mexico.  The elevated humidity levels combined with daytime heating and low to mid level turbulence likely contributed to the development of the tornado producing thunderstorm.
A preliminary assessment of damages in Hebbronville indicated areas of EF-1 (85 to 105 mph) winds. The EF-1 damages occurred in the central and southeast areas of Hebbronville into the center of town, EF-0 damages occurred from the center of town to areas northwest of town which included areas around Hebbronville High School.
The tornado formed to the southeast of Hebbronville between 450 and 5 pm. The tornado crossed State Highway 285 about 1/2 mile east of the intersection with State Highway 16, and entered a Texas Department of Transportation maintenance yard, tearing a section off a roof and collapsing a section of a metal parking area. It continued to the north northwest into a residential area, taking the roof off one modular home, snapping several power poles, rolling a mobile home onto its roof, and damaging numerous mesquite trees. The tornado continued moving northwest toward downtown and knocked down numerous power lines, then struck a grocery store and blew a billboard onto a few parked cars. A loaded tractor trailer was rolled onto its roof and against the grocery store. The tornado then moved north northwest, causing lesser tree damage along Maria and Frans Avenues. The weakening tornado crossed over a school, with no notable damage. It then moved by Hebbronville High School���s Gruy stadium, bending a goalpost and knocking over some fencing around tennis courts just west of the school campus. The tornado then lifted, with no damage noted beyond this location.
Considerable damage was rated EF-1 from the southeast side of Hebbronville until reaching downtown, with wind speeds of 90 to 100 mph. EF-0 damage (below 85 mph) was seen from northwest of downtown to the area around the high school.
