It's not over yet.

The Travis watershed received 14" in some locations just since midnight. (Bertram hydromet reports rainfall between (9"-14") Hwy 29 is flooded and closed at Bertram. Add that to all the water being released from Starke and Wirtz dams. (15 floodgates together) and yes, it's going to rise a lot more.

My rain gauge has gathered 3 inches since midnight for a three day total of 9 inches. (8 miles E of Marble Falls)

For those that don't know central Texas is mostly this type of situation. Solid rock underneath a very thin layer of top soil. What looks like nice hills are actually mounds of solid rock. When you get a foot of water out of sky that water rushes down to the rivers and they go from something you can walk across to 10's of feet deep in minutes.

This is a 35+ minute video showing the rise of the river from the very beginning. Watch at least the first 2 minutes and then you can skip forward.

That's amazing for anyone not seeing it before. Seems to be pretty common there.

A spokesman revealed that floods are common in the area due to the topography, but this one was unprecedented and took everyone by surprise.

I guess it was older folks that have seen it before.....Or something close to it back in the day.

They said they got 18 months of rain in three days thus far.

Good Lord!

I reviewed all seven pages thus far and I never saw nary a TX member question the warnings given.

Contrast that to the liberal assholes on this site that have started at least two threads trying to blame Trump.

Why allow a campground in the path of an ARROYO? Is that what they are called?

Just asking. Seems not a good place to stash helpless children at night.

River rising.

They have so many people wanting to help with water rescues and such that they are putting them on a list. So many air assets that they had to clear some airspaces before anymore could be let in.

I don't know what the recovery will look like but I know this much, Texans are taking care of their own on a unpresented basis.

Contrast that with the blue states where they depend on Big Daddy .gov to take care of them.

I give TX a lot of crap at times but when the rubber meets the road they are there for you.

Certain areas may be vulnerable to landslides now.

Hey lying ass, we in the blue states are the one that fund the ignorant poor and poorly educated red states. Yes, Texans do have a reputation for responding on their own to disasters. Unfortunately they also have a reputation for creating those disasters. 2017 local officials voted down a proposal to establish a river monitoring and warning system, in spite of the fact the county is known as "Flash Flood Alley". And then with that fact in mind, allowing children's camps to be established below flood level. Doesn't make sense.

Not can be, will be.

Not only that but in an area that was known to have flooded multiple times. And then the locals rejected a river monitoring and warning system in 2017. What was the saving per lives lost in that flood?
