Texas is under nature’s wrath again, and this rain isn’t just a drop in the bucket – it’s a full-blown disaster! In Kerr County, a staggering 25 centimeters of rain fell in just a few hours overnight, causing flash floods that swamped the Guadalupe River and threatened riverside communities. The river gauge recorded a water level of 6.7 meters in just two hours before completely failing as the water surged to an unbelievable 9 meters! Yes, you read that right – the river literally swallowed the gauge!
The Kerr County sheriff confirmed fatalities but didn’t provide details, while rescue teams scrambled with boats to save people trapped in dangerous areas. Texas Governor Greg Abbott promised state resources to communities like Kerrville, Ingram, and Hunt, but Mother Nature doesn’t care about promises.
These floods aren’t just numbers – they’re a nightmare for residents who lost homes, and wild animals plus riverside camps make rescue operations even tougher. Meteorologists warn the situation remains critical, and water levels could be even higher than recorded.
If you think this is just another rainstorm, think again. These floods show how powerless we are against nature’s fury and how crucial it is to heed warnings and stay away from flood zones. So, what do you think – is Texas ready for these weather disasters, or is an even bigger catastrophe looming? Drop a comment, maybe your idea will save someone next time!
