In a localized swath from pike to montgomery to
garland counties...6 to 7 inches of precipitation is estimated to
have fallen.

This very heavy rain resulted in significant flash flooding of
rivers and valleys with the most notable flooding along the little
missouri river in montgomery county where the stage at the
langley gage rose from 3.57 feet at 130 am to 23.39 feet at 530
am. This gage is located 4.5 miles downstream of the albert pike
recreation area...where a number of fatalities and missing people
have been reported.

I believe this is part of the system that hit Central Texas (Comal, Guadalupe, Gonzales and Bexar Counties) earlier this week. We experienced up to 11 inches of rainfall in less than 3 hours in parts of Comal County. See this link for a local news article, which also links to some reader submitted photos at the bottom.

I'm sorry to hear so many have lost their lives, last I heard, only 1 death was related to this storm in Texas.
