 A Texas highway was hit with severe flash flooding on June 1 due to heavy rainfall, washing away vehicles and leaving some roads closureed across the Texas Panhandle. Video from social media showed vehicles pushed off the side of highway 87 between O'Donnell and Lubbock, with some submerged in surging floodwater as heavy rainfall continued. The National Weather Service had issued flash flooding alerts throughout the southern U.S. state of Texas on Thursday, warning of wind gusts up to 70 mph and advising residents to stay off main roads and seek higher ground. So this is West Texas. I'm about 22 miles outside of Lubbock and we've had a flash flood, it's a storm and it's completely washed. Two vehicles right up to the side and it's pushed a couple other vehicles off.
