Well, folks, the floods on the Llano River just took out our 2900 bridge, in Kingsland, TX!
We’re stuck here for the duration. No way in and no way out. Docks across from us have collasped and boats and structures are floating past the house. Water is right at the top of our boathouse and 2/3rds in our yard. We should be fine and have about 4 feet of rise before it gets in the house.
Oh no, hope you have a well stocked pantry.
I remember you saying you were trying to use things up.
Stay safe!
Darn. Take care.
Prayers for your safety! Hope you have plenty of water and food.
Wow, FRiend! I didn't even know it had rained in the Hill Country...
It does look like you're in a 'melluvahess'!
The 2900 bridge I see on Google Earth is no culvert over a dry wash; it's a major, concrete TxDOT bridge, nearly 1/4 mile long -- over the upper end of Lake Marble Falls!
That's a substantial bridge! Is it actually down -- or is it (and/or its approaches) "merely" underwater?
It sounds like you're on the south shore across from Kingsland. If so, it looks like the closest bridge across the Colorado is at Marble Falls -- roughly 25 miles away! And your closest (by road) source of supplies may be Llano -- 20+ miles north..
Please keep us updated as to how you're getting along -- and what TxDOT (not my favorite TX agency -- based on the Rick Williamson/TTC days) is doing to solve your ingress/egress problem!
(Of course, I'm hoping that you, being a resourceful TX resident, have kept your boat safe and handy...) '-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you don't mind prayers -- 'cause I'm a-doin' it anyway... '-)
All the best,
TXnMA
