Street flooding in the city of Victoria was widespread, as approximately 8 inches fell over parts of Victoria over 24hrs, including approximately 4.5 inches within a 2 hour span.  This led to widespread flooding over approximately 25-35% of the city���s streets, and an unknown but significant number of county roads.  All told, approximately 160+ residences were flooded (almost all to a minimal degree).  Additionally, a number of dwellings and vehicles suffered minor damage from falling trees or limbs.  However, due to the rapidity in which most of the flood waters receded, Victoria was spared catastrophic loss to residential and business infrastructure.  There was damage sustained to governmental infrastructure: Damage was done to the Victoria County Sheriff���s Office Communications Center when rainwater inundated a portion of the first floor.  Damage was sustained to multiple City and County vehicles.  A water-main was damaged and required expedient repair.  A storm-water/drainage outfall was damaged by floodwater and will require repair.
