Here we go again.....A line of tunderstorms has formed SE of the city moving slowly NW..they are training over the same area dropping 1-3 inches per hour and will move into the city within the next hour. scattered heavy rain showers are developing throughout the area dropping brief heavy rain.. The situation is very critical on local rivers at record levels and any rain that falls will runoff and cause widespread flooding everywhere. I hope they weaken before they move into the city..but they are actully getting stronger..the band isn't very wide maybe 15-20 miles but it 30 miles long and will move over the same area over and over again..I will have details for the next few hours.....
New radar shot shows heavy rain also developing over kendall county
The Guadalupe isn't bad here, because the rain isn't upstream from us-it's all here, and we're sending it downstream. But the creeks here are murder. 5 more houses over where Texana_RED's house washed away on Tuesday, were destroyed last nite when they washed away, too. And 200 homes flooded.
I see more rain headed our way, too, but thanks for the heads up, even though I have figured out the water always wins-at least in my den-For some reason, I just feel obligated to try to get it out of there when it starts coming in under the baseboards!

I think that's Kerr County where some of those white dots are...I cannot take another 4 am invasion of water. Of course, I am glad I am not in Castroville right now where the release from Canyon Damn on the Guadalupe is headed. On the news today, they said that 68 billion gallons of water had rained on Bexar county since July 1st. At least I think it was 68.

Not sure where on the Pedernales you are, but we have a place near Lower South Grape Creek where it runs into the Pedernales, and that's flooded (Gillespie County), and I am wondering now, if from the back side, the Pedernales has risen across the fields, and flooded the basement, or is lapping on the steps of the front porch from the Grape Creek Side.
Worrying about all the rain in Kerrville, I hadn't even given a thought to the farm over there.
