Here’s hoping the worst is over for the folks along the Guadalupe River. I can’t believe that any river can rise 25 feet in less than one hour.
So sad for the families of the lost.

We are about an hour or so north of the line where the heavy rain started. San Angelo, got over 10” late Thursday nite into early Friday morning, with heavier amounts south and east towards Kerrville.
Supposedly the campground management was told to evacuate, but failed to do so. ‘Camp Mystic’, private all-girls retreat, patronized for decades by Texas ‘upper echelon’ daughters of the movers and shakers of the Lone Star State.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Nobody had any idea of this on the 10 PM news.... Flood started coming up at 3 am.. rose 30 ft in an hour... Not much time to warn or evacuate..... Just a bad place for a Camp Ground.

Good place for Camp, just as at Shut Ins or Current River, just have to be aware and wary.
Prayers lifted here for those that perished and their families.

In July 1987, there was similar flood thru that exact campground, 10 girls lost their lives.

they have a FLASH FLOOD like every 5- 10 years that rises 20- 30 ft.. Lots of destruction and death when it occures.... but not that often.
