May 12 2023 Flood on 4th Street


Here is some of my video posted on my Mertzon.Floods YouTube Channel of the flooding of 4th Street Flooding at Irion County ISD


One reason the area is so dangerous is that it is impossible to tell how deep the water is on the street. It's a bit like black ice because of the glare from the nearby street lights.


The first part of the video shows how much water is coming from City Gym. The gym runoff is also combined with the water flowing down Juanita Street.


Keep in mind this area is often packed with school buses and pedestrians/students during events at the tennis courts and at City Gym.

It will be particularly dangerous to folks on foot because it is impossible to tell how deep and fast the water is moving.


Finally, also keep in mind that this water ultimately reaches City Park and the football stadium.


And this isn't as bad as it gets...
