This was in 2007 but happened AGAIN in May 2015. Lots of pictures on Facebook group Somervell County Breaking News, including THIS video from WFAA of a SINKHOLE.

And in North Texas, heavy rain flooded some streams and rivers and forced the evacuation of at least 50 homes in a subdivision near Lake Granbury, about 60 miles southwest of Dallas. There, about 30 homes were destroyed, said Hood County Sheriff Gene Mayo. About 25 people were rescued from the water, trees and rooftops, he said.

In Parker County, west of Fort Worth, a county judge ordered mandatory evacuation of residential areas along the Brazos River after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opened the gates at the Possum Kingdom dam.

Rescuers used boats and jet skis to help evacuate residents of about 50 homes in a subdivision near Lake Granbury last night as Robinson Creek spilled out of its banks.

Bands of heavy rains have been parked over portions of Texas for days, creating flooding situations along creeks and rivers.

Hood County Judge Andy Rash says some of the people at Lake Granbury waited on the roofs of their homes. The water was waist to chest deep. No injuries were reported

Right now also the Hood County News has something on their front page about the Lake Granbury Harbor evacuation, including pictures.
