This should help Canyon quite a bit.

It will.  This will take the lake up several feet and none too soon.  

GLORIOUS!!!

Unfortunately, this is the environmental reality of Texas today: In order for large swaths of our state to emerge from devastating drought it will require rain events that will destroy other areas. 

This storm is both tragic and life restoring.

Yeah, I apologize for that.  I just woke up, saw a bit of info and didn't think about how wide this river will get.

Yeah, isn’t this the ecological reality of central Texas since forever?

Correct.  As observed by a federal meteorologist in the 20s, I think - Texas is the land of perpetual drought, soaked by occasional devastating floods.  That's the way it is, and always has been.  Some of those are becoming more extreme, but being a land of some extremes is nothing new.

And I've been headed to Hunt (one of the sites along the Guad up that road) when a flood hit.  I had to bail out (literally backed my truck up once I hit a spot where the rushing water was up to my hubs - NOPE), go back into Kerrville, and come at it from the north end, where the road doesn't cross the river at any low points.  A Hunt school board member wasn't so lucky that night.

Having lived in Kerrville for years I don't recall a lot of stuff and down river from there that is built up near the river, but if it wasn't close to the roads I was driving along the Guadalupe between there and Comfort I wouldn't know.   In the middle of town the river bed is really wide if my memory serves.

It's what is up river from Kerrville that is in the crosshairs I'd think.  Hunt, Ingram, Waltonia, Mystic, etc.

Lots of parents with kids at summer camps along the Guadalupe waking up this morning to this news. Keep them in your thoughts this morning. I’ve been texting with a friend that has a son at La Junta right now and they reported that all of the kids are safe and accounted for, but that all roads in/out of Hunt are washed out. Lots of very stressed out parents across Texas this morning.

Man, lucky I picked my nephew up last weekend from LA Junta. The good news, is that camp and those people are well prepared. 

I went to La Junta as a kid and there was a flood one year that I was there and they were very well prepared and that was nearly 40 years ago. As a kid, it was kind of fun and exciting. As a parent, I’m sure my parents were worried sick.
