7.30 inches of rain fell in two days, the most for this week of the year since records began in 1953. The next wettest, 5.21 inches, fell in 1998.
Woodville’s center stands about 270 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 210 ft to 390 ft, a difference of 180 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Fleming Formation (clay, sandstone), from the Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Coarse-detrital, fine-detrital. Age: Pliocene, 2.6 to 5.3 million years old. About 15 mi of the line.
Clay, sandstone. Age: Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Silt, sand, clay. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.
Fine-detrital, coarse-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 0.5 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Woodville reaches the Gulf of America by way of Little Turkey Creek, Turkey Creek, Village Creek and the Neches: about 150 river miles.
Lake on the way: Sabine Lake.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Woodville; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Woodville has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 92° in August; winter nights fall to about 38° in January. About 59 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Woodville normally reaches 69° and falls to 48°. The record high is 85°, in 1955; the record low 26°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 2.28 in, fell in 1998.
