  1. There seem to be some serious issues on that stretch of the Guadalupe River. Known as one of the most dangerous stretches of river in the USA! Flooding has happened before, but THIS time the water rose to its max level in about 45 minutes.

    A main issue is why were the camping areas “on the river” in the first place? There was no real forecast for such rain (about 20 inches!) to happen, to that magnitude, so no warnings were issued ahead of time. That was from the local law enforcement!

    Another thing was the time of night the water rose . . . while everybody was sleeping.

    The particular weather pattern was a last remnant of Hurricane Barry, which broke apart in Mexico and then went north into the Texas Hill Country. Where it stopped and the low pressure area spun and spun for hours, combining the rotation and northerly flow of moisture from the Gulf of Whatever. Raining and raining and raining.

    No doubt this bad tragedy will get the attention of the business people who run the camps down there. To revise the real estate to keep campers out of the 150 year flood plain! But as the Uvalde shootings did not result in a change in gun laws, don’t hold your breath.
