TRAFFIC ALERT: Road closures in Henderson County due to flooding
HENDERSON COUNTY, Texas (KETK) — As Henderson County battles flash flooding, some roads have been shut down for the safety of East Texans.
According to Henderson County, flash flooding is possible with heavy rains, so the county encourages residents to turn around if they encounter a flooded road.
'Never walk, swim, or drive through still or moving floodwaters,' the county said. 'The water may be hiding dangers such as debris, tree branches, power lines or damage to the road. As little as six inches of fast-moving water can cause motorists to lose control of their vehicle, even a pickup truck or SUV.'
A flash flood warning has been issued till June 8 at 9:25 p.m. in Henderson County. KETK has compiled the following list of road closures in Henderson County:
County Road 1500 East and West is closed
The bridge on County Road 1507 is flooded and not passable
County Road 1113 is flooded at the creek and is not passable
County Road 2448 is under water
Pritchett Road in Seven Points is closed from Jess Hinton to County Road 2105
County Road 2139 south of 85 is closed
County Road 2428 east is closed
The bridge on County Road 3918 was washed over and is not passable
The bridge on FM 316 by Purtis Creek is flooded
County Road 3822
County Road 3715 has since reopened.
Emergency Management said they received reports of stranded vehicles due to high water this morning, but all has cleared out as of now and no injuries were reported.

Isolated storms return to eastern New Mexico Friday with hotter weather
Severe storms moved through eastern New Mexico Thursday afternoon. Another round of isolated storms will develop Friday with hotter and mostly dry weather this weekend. A couple tornadoes touched down in Roosevelt County this afternoon, but thankfully there were no reports of damage. Those storms have been out of New Mexico for a while, but a few storms have redeveloped tonight around Clovis. These storms will also move out of New Mexico soon. Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
