Central Texas is no stranger to heavy rain and flooding. Heavy rain fell on the evening of July 16, 1987. Nearly a foot of rain fell and there was flooding. The flood is tragically known for claiming 10 young lives from Seagoville Road Baptist Church. They were on a bus and van with 43 people on board. They were attending a church camp, Pot O' Gold Ranch. The bus ran into raging flood waters. They had to be rescued by helicopter. Texas State Trooper, US Army’s 507th Medical Division, and a news helicopter were involved in rescuing people who were clinging for safety. There was a movie about the tragic disaster.
