This should help Canyon quite a bit.

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

GLORIOUS!!!

Crazy.  This reminds me of the floods in 2018 (?) when things went from 20-30% chance of rain overnight to waking up finding out parts of the Hill Country had essentially flooded away overnight.

glorious?  people are getting their lives washed away. 

have some tact.  

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.

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.

I feel bad. I wrote a few pages back about San Marcos not getting any rain so that means we will flood. 

That shit is just going to sit over Central Texas and pound us all.

Are the lakes full yet?

How do the lakes' asses take that length?  Seems we're gonna find out.

This is always the way it goes.

I’ve heard Mystic is evacuating today. My daughter isn’t there this term but has friends there now. I think it’s a challenge to get in and out right now.

Been on the phone with some pals who live in Kerrville and Ingram.  They're guys who have been there their whole lives and each one used the same word - "Unbelievable".

I tried to check the Kerrville online gauge level and it's not even reporting.

This is something not seen before.
