A few years ago Canyon Lake (west of New Braunfels) flooded and the spillway was "used" for the first time. I don't think they realized what the results would be. Over 800 homes were damaged or destroyed and the water carved a gorge.
Here's a link that talks about the Canyon Lake Dam and there's a picture near the bottom of the gorge.

Amazing. Right through the limestone bedrock. Around where I live, we generally have to wait about 10,000 years for new gorges to be cut.
