At least 24 Dead In Texas Hill Country flooding; Local river flows not expected to be impacted

The Kerry County Sheriff's Office has been working non-stop to search for and rescue as many people as possible. This picture was borrowed from their Facebook page. It was posted with this warning message almost 24 hours ago: "This is a catastrophic flooding event in Kerr County. We can confirm fatalities but will not release further information until next of kin are notified. Our Office is working with a wide variety of local and state agencies to respond to calls and rescues. The entire county is an extremely active scene. Residents are encouraged to shelter in place and not attempt travel. Those near creeks, streams, and the Guadalupe River should immediately move to higher ground."



(Kerrville) — Crews are searching through the night for survivors of a Texas flood that killed at least 24 people and swept away dozens more.

Authorities believe as many as 25 girls may be missing after the Guadalupe River flooded their camp early Friday northwest of San Antonio.

Meanwhile, there were many concerns locally that the flooding upstream would eventually lead to flooding here in Seguin and Guadalupe County areas, but that’s not expected to be the case.

The heavy rainfall all occurred above Canyon Dam. Guadalupe County Emergency Management Office officials say the reservoir’s level is low, and it is expected to have the capacity to handle all of the water surging its way. That means there should not be significant increases in the river flow in New Braunfels, McQueeney, Seguin and areas further downstream.
