SAN ANGELO, TX — Reports of downed power lines over State of Texas roadways FM 2469 at SH 163 north of Mertzon sent Texas Department of Transportation crews scrambling. A heavy line of thunderstorms impacted the area just after 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 16.

TxDOT also heard reports of flooding on FM 2469 about 20 miles north of Mertzon. This is a very rural area of the state.
