Narrator paints this as a catastrophe. Locals are beyond thankful for the rain after a year+ of drought.

@AaronYates Ай бұрын

No catastrophe because people were farily careful. It's still very dangerous when people try to drive past barricades and such.

@rolandmiller5456 Ай бұрын

@deanjohnson. I think you're misreading this a little bit. We were prepared for what was coming but there's no reason not to put out the warnings they put out. That is a lot of water but again we were ready for this time. And I don't know if you were down here in 2015 when the Blanco And the Guadalupe both flooded. But I was and that's a night nobody wants to ever see again

I almost lost my life to the Guadalupe river in May 1972 near New Braunfels Texas. It’s amazing how fast Water can rise in a flash flood.

@AaronYates Ай бұрын

So important to remember this! Many have commented about how this flood didn't do any damage and wasn't a big deal, but there's always the risk of quickly rising waters in a flash flood causing loss of life. While we're very grateful for the rain, we must not forget that it can be dangerous and we're all very lucky that there were no major incidents this time around!

My Grandma was in the kerrville hospital and we didn’t have a tv! We knew it had rained a lot but it wasn’t until we tried to drive from Pipe creek through Bandera and saw that it was like a lake had taken over! The water was all the way into the first floor of the hospital and my grandma was on the 3rd floor! We had to drive around back over to I-10 and come in from the north

@@russf.6473 Clay Church, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, - which manages the lake - said this week's rains will help the lake level a little. "This rain that we have received over the last 24, 30 hours, or so, has been very beneficial, but unfortunately, it's not going to raise levels on Canyon Lake all that much - probably see an increase of 12 to 18 inches in actual lake levels," he said.

We're not to far from Kerrville but, central Texas a bit further west, northwest didn't get any. We're hoping and thanking God for the rain.

I lived there for 8 1/2 years- this happens every year at least once. And every year some numb nut drives his/her pickup into water covered roads, and dies. Same song, 5 millionth verse. It cleans the silt out of the river- makes for much better swimming after floods.

How is it we got so much rain but Medina Lake level didn’t go up at all? Something fishy going on!

@garyloudermilk5177 Ай бұрын

This has always been the history of Medina Lake. Very small catchment area!

@rubyrainsong Ай бұрын

@@garyloudermilk5177 Maybe. I do have to wonder though because there is currently a lawsuit going on, initiated by SAWS against BMA water, because they want out of a contract. I've also heard rumors about water being diverted away from the lake. I've also noticed it hardly ever rains in and around the lake. I've documented for over two years the strange phenomenon of radar showing storms dissolving on approach then reforming after passing by the area. Something strange is going on. We have neighbors whose wells are drying up. And with all of these things going on simultaneously I can't reconcile it as all natural occurrences.

@keithjurena9319 Ай бұрын

Medina Lake has risen 4.6 feet since 22 July. It takes 11 inches of runoff over the entire drainage area to fill this lake. 2 year drought plus hundreds of dry ponds soak up all runoff from smaller rains.

@cyclingtexas1670 Ай бұрын

All this water, The Guadalupe River, is destined for Canyon Lake, not Lake Medina. But lake Medina should have risen too?

@rubyrainsong Ай бұрын

@@cyclingtexas1670 The other commenters were right. I did check and it did rise a couple of feet as of today. I guess the reporting is delayed. The massive amount of rain occurred on the night of July 22 and wasn't reflected yesterday. It is reflected as of today though.
