Continued rainfall brings flooding to Texoma
Herald Democrat
Flooding and high-water conditions started rising following overnight storms that continued into Tuesday and are expected throughout the week. The National Weather Service estimated that the majority of Grayson County saw at least one inch of rainfall Tuesday morning with portions of Sherman receiving up to 2.5 inches.
Despite this, Denison likely saw the highest rainfall with 2.7 inches of rain by 1 p.m. and the majority of the flooding conditions appear to be centered on Sherman, where multiple streets saw standing water and flooding Tuesday morning.
Sherman Police said this heavy rain combined with construction along U.S. Highway 75 and already saturated due to previous storms throughout May. This led to several instances of flooding throughout the corridor.

By this summer, anyone wanting to bid on a piece of property at a county tax sale in Grayson County will have to get friendly with a computer. Tuesday, Grayson County commissioners approved a contract with GovEase Auction LLC to start conducting the county s tax auctions online.
There is an in-person sale already set for this spring but by the time the summer on rolls around the process will have moved online, Grayson County Tax Assessor Collector Bruce Stidham.
Part of the reasoning behind this is the recent pandemic and people s reluctance to be in a room full of other people. Another reason, is that it will open the process up for more participants.
