If she is going to leave, she should go tomorrow or not at all. As pointed out, Highway 6 floods around Hearne which is just north of B/CS. Thankfully, B/CS is not prone to serious flooding, other than street flooding which isn't a real problem unless you have a low to the ground car. Living right next to one of the main drainage creeks can put your house at risk but I've only seen them seriously go over the banks twice and only once into people's houses.
Flooding like we saw in New Orleans from Katrina or Houston from Allison is unlike in B/CS.

I just hope the electricity holds here in CS. We'll see, I just have to fill up some water jugs and I'm ready.

The parking lot at my old apartment at A&M used to get flooded, and cars would float away. That's what I remember. Of course, this would always happen the first day of school also (or it seemed that way back then).
I would be more concerned about her handling being without electricity for several days. Hopefully she was able to buy some food.
However, I remember that I got stuck at A&M during a snowstorm before classes started for the 2nd semester. We had electricity, but you couldn't drive around. We were stuck in the dorms, and there were no cafeterias open on campus. We had to walk to the grocery store and there was 1 pizza restaurant that was open. We had a blast!!!
Here's praying she has fun if she gets stuck there.
