we want to have a debate about placing campgrounds on a river or in a watershed,
Does this type of activity happen often there? Is this just an anomaly?
What even caused it to rise so fast? Heavy rains or did a dam break?

Can’t believe that bridge held up.

They had like 15” of rain in less than an hour over a pretty wide area.

Heavy rain in an extreme drought area on a small river

At 10:13 in the video. Is that someone in a pink shirt yelling and floating with/on the debris on the right side of video?

This is an amazing and interesting video. It is interesting because you don't see a debris wall with the flood wall like was evident in videos from Kerr county and Kerrville. That video was shot from the 480 bridge in Center Point, just below Center Point lake. That was a significant debris wall, and it looks to have been washed out in Kerrville Lake and Center Point Lake. There is big debris behind the wall carried by the water, of course, but the mass of debris that lead the way into the campground area was washed out by this time.

Where does the local weather news get its information?

I’ve watched it over and over, zoomed, slow-mo etc and I can’t say definitively if it’s a person or just an object. It is eerie how it comes from completely submerged to staying on top of the debris pile until it disappears through the trees. The timing of a person calling out at that moment is eerie as well.

This area is basically solid rock with valleys cutting thru. Add a biblical amount of rain (almost 20”) in a decade long drought and yes… this is the hell storm that happens. Also happened in ‘87. Campers died evacuating

I want every single democrat troll on social media to put together a presentation, for all of our benefit, how voting for Kamala would have prevented this. I’m a little slow so I will need precise explanations of how the same people who failed to prevent a hurricane from hitting NC last year under Biden would have prevented this flash flood.

Terrible, love the area too, we talk about retiring up there, prayers for all.

I would have gotten the hell off that bridge.

I watched that video a couple of times and it’s unbelievable how within 30 mins the water can be 20+ feet below and swell to almost overtopping the bridge.

No, they didn't. It was short duration, high intensity storm, but closer to 10 inches across 3 hours. The hill country has higher Watershed slopes, so it's much more prone to flash floods.
