Following the curve of the Balcones Escarpment through Texas' middle -- from Waco south to Uvalde -- Flash Flood Alley's weather and landscape distinctively work together to produce rapid flood events.

Major flash floods are common along the Balcones Escarpment because of two factors prevalent in the region, according to experts: intense rainfall events and efficient drainage off the landscape. ...
