Storms bring much-needed rain to Wichita Falls

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Drought-stricken Wichita Falls finally got a heavy dose of rain when a storm system moved eastward over the North Texas city overnight.

Wichita Falls got 1.24 inches of rain from the system, which battered parts of West Texas with baseball-sized hail and powerful wind gusts earlier earlier Sunday and late Saturday night, the National Weather Service said.
