Torrential downpour right now in Medina. Medina River did some damage in Bandera a couple days ago. I bet the low water crossings are underwater.

Yes, and we can only imagine what the Kerrville Folk Festival looked like.

A mud pit, no doubt. My husband is going to leave for work in Kerrville. He may have to turn around and come home. I hope so because I am off today.

Let us know if the roads are still closed?

Guadalupe River in flood stage
Access now restricted to guided tours!

http://www.ksat.com/weather/guadalupe-river-in-new-braunfels-to-be-limited-to-guided-raft-trips

excerpted
Quote
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas - Recreation on the Guadalupe River inside the New Braunfels city limits will be limited to guided raft trips beginning Tuesday, city officials said.

Water release from Canyon Lake due to flooding will make conditions for most forms of recreation, including tubing and most forms of rafting and kayaking, dangerous, city public information officer Sheri Masterson said.
More Weather Headlines

Starting at 7 p.m. Monday, incremental flood release increases will be made to achieve a flow of 2,500 cubic feet per second by midnight, Masterson said. The flow will increase to 5,000 cubic feet per second around 4 a.m. Tuesday and will be maintained at that rate until the lake flood pool drops to 911 feet.

Tubing on the river is a big part of the local economy

I think we got about 4 inches of rain in Medina last night. Just saw pictures of the flooding in Bandera about twelve miles down SH 16. They got 10 inches of rain. Looks like Lake Medina is full.
Should help the aquifers fill back up from the drought.  The weather in Texas has been weird.  Never saw as much rain in the San Antonio area as during the last two winters I spent there.  Hope this next winter is different.  At least where I park MY RV is usually high and dry.

Lake Medina was tragically dry- filled up some last May. This video is before this afternoon's rain- I think we got another 3 inches in Medina- which is not near the lake, but is 12 miles NW of Bandera.  Drought or flood in Texas.

I looked at the data and normally Comal County is almost dry as a bone pretty much 10 months of the year. Lately, though, it's been raining a LOT!

Did I see that even Buffalo Lake up near Amarillo has water in it again?

My husband made it to work 20 some miles from Medina to Kerrville on SH 16. There was standing water in places but the low water crossings were not flooded. Downstream may be another story.

Now if the wife can just get home from work.

A woman was killed in Austin yesterday while tubing on Barton Creek... she was pulled into a culvert by the force of the water and drowned.

NOPE! Up in the cool country.  Windows open enjoying the fresh air with the smell of BBQ.

When  I lived in Austin, I would hike along the completely dry Barton Creek in the loop 360/290 area for miles with my dogs in some years. Wonder which part of Barton Creek she was tubing.

Right by the pool apparently:

Body of woman recovered near Barton Springs Pool, officials say



Laura Skelding
Barton Springs pool manager Matt Miller (black shirt) and lifeguard Ceazar Kainz look at the pool bypass where a woman died Monday night. She was tubing Barton Springs, and was pulled down by the force of the water going through the bypass. Her body was recovered at the scene. The bypass was built to help keep the pool from flooding, but it still floods sometimes. The pool was closed Monday because it was flooding. LAURA SKELDING / AMERICAN-STATESMAN

@geronl @Sanguine

Just saw San Antonio news footage of Medina Lake- warnings of flooding downriver. Water still spilling over but floodgates closed for now.

Radar shows more rain headed in that direction.

This is why they pretty much said NO TUBING in my town because of the rain and the river level
