Does anyone know what time the flooding started?

---

They just interviewed a family who is keeping a girl who got swept down from a campsite, and I believe she said that the water started rising around 4am. They found her in a tree around 8am.

2002 had a flood with canyon lake and the Guad having issues. I was working a summer camp in area and we had to evac to higher ground and it was surreal with helicopters landing all over camp dropping people off etc.

Yeah I went to high school with the son. Him and his dad had to flag down DPS to send a boat for her. She is currently at their house recovering because the hospitals are swamped.

Prayers up for all those impacted by this devastating storm.

I was oblivious to how young the kids at those camps are. The pictures are heartbreaking.

We had to leave a tent site at Guadalupe State Park once when I was a kid in the 80's, and it was a much, much lighter event than this and started early enough in the evening to get out and find a motel. But it was a surprising lesson in Hill Country flooding, even though we're used to flooding in Houston.

I'm hearing they've recovered 6-10 bodies.

Press conference pushed to around 9PM.

Where did you hear this?

If you haven't clicked on the BadAce post (Post of the day) you probably want to.

Didn't this exact same situation happening like 10 years ago in Kerrville ??? This a carbon copy of what I remember.

I have land just up the hill from this. We know to get high when it rains like this. So angry at the people looking out for these campers.

Very sad.

Yeah, not near Kerrville IIRC, but elsewhere in the Hill Country.

I think might have been on the Llano River, because that flood all went into Lake Travis and filled it back to full pool.

Wimberley.

That was it, on the Blanco River.

I wish there was a downvote or unlike button for these situations. Hold your friend for us, we are praying for them.

Louise Hays Park, before and after flood waters crested at 0730 this morning. That bridge is 40 feet above the river. Generational flooding!

---

Wow. We lived through Harvey in downtown Houston. It is so similar.

Edit: I know nothing compares to loosing someone.

I think that was Wimberly. But anywhere in a Hill Country watershed is at risk. Lots of water in a short duration in an area of low porosity and lots channeled flow can be bad news.

That has to be an error. That's not possible, is it?

My ranch is in the SE corner of San Saba Co. I took my 16 year old and two of his buddies for a work day, yesterday. Watched weather the whole time. Cherokee Creek runs through the front of our place and empties in to the Colorado just a mile or so down. Cherokee gets just as deep and wide where it comes through our ranch.

Rain just would not stop last night. Got the kids out this morning around 9:00. Low water over Cherokee was only about 6" over. My foreman text a vid to me three hours later and it was 6-8' over. Looks like a white water rafting river in the Rockies.

It literally happens that fast in the Hill Country. And considering we've had ample spring rain, everything is already pretty saturated.

Very sad situation in Kerrville.

It's very much possible. It's happened in the past.

For those that haven't ventured over to the Outdoors Board, pray for Dermdoc's niece's daughter Mary Grace. She was at Camp Mystic and hasn't been found yet.

gut punch

damn

Idunno, I saw another tweet earlier this afternoon that an area rose 29 feet in under 45 mins

It's possible. Again, Cherokee Creek goes through my place. It's not the Guadalupe. If it can go 6-8' in a couple of hours the Guadalupe can go 30. Crazy sh**.

Dermdoc has been a prayer warrior for many, many posters on TexAgs over the years. Today we all need to be praying for Mary Grace and his family.

Yep

He lets me know he prays for my recovery on a regular basis.

Thanks Rapier108, TXAG 05, Teslag, and Urban Ag for the clarification. We shouldn't be going through this again.
