A LIFE-THREATENING FLOOD is coming down the Guadalupe River, the same river that experienced the flood tragedy last July. The river has risen 32 feet in four hours and that wall of water is rapidly heading downstream. Residents and camps need to evacuate up, not by roadway.

Some Rain gauges on AWN in area are showing 14” since midnight alone

Those poor folks that live there. About 1 year later and they have to do this all over again. Hopefully all the measures they have put in place will reduce loss of life.

32’ rise in four hours is incomprehensible.

Flash floods are not abnormal in that area. 32’ is not normal. But they are used to it.
The biggest issue is building within the flood zone of those rivers

The river is expected to crest at a similar level to the July 4, 2025 flood (Camp Mystic disaster).

Is this a good weekend for floating the river ?

Only one way to find out.
Mother nature is a cruel bitch sometimes. Surely there hasn't been much rebuilding in the areas that were flooded last year. Hopefully there isn't much being taken out by this repeat.

that poor girl's body that was never found might get moved again

The 2nd biggest was no real coordinated evacuation plans for situation. Lots of “this time” on the news this morning.
As in, this time the Fire Dept was engaged with the community in advance…KSAT reporter must have said “this time” 10 times.

Along with that I think they have more gauges along the river to give easier warnings.

Considering how "mountainous" the hill country is compared to the rest of Texas, it sure does have severe flooding a lot.

Hindsight being 20/20…
I know a family who lost 8yo daughter at Camp Mystic. Tears heart out everytime I think about this.
If only…more gauges. Seems so simple.
If only…coordinated evacuation plans.
If only…learned from floods w/deaths in past.
Heart wrenching.

Daughter (no pics) was staying overnight with a friend in Kerrville and the weather alerts on my phone just before 2 am sure got my attention. I’m thankful folks down here are still on high alert after 2025.
Pedernales here around Fredericksburg is moving like I’ve not seen it in quite a while. Hwy16 towards Kerrville is under water where the river runs alongside the road.
The Guadalupe will get all of the attention but the hardest hit areas are south around Uvalde and Knippa. Saw some reports of over 30” in less than 24 hours. The terrain around Uvalde is flatter causing a wider spread of flooding.

That's why it floods badly in heavy rain. Same thing that happened in Tennessee and North Carolina during the Helene remnants a few years back.. it all funnels to the watersheds.

Biggest contributing factor is the limestone bedrock in this region.
