Flooding in New Braunfels
« on: June 09, 2010, 10:13:37 PM »
Had a bit of flooding in New Braunfels this week, took some pictures thought you guys would like to see



couple of our neighbors got stuck in house and we went to get them in a canoe (im in the back in the green)



Our horses enjoying the new waterfront property



A picture that i took in gruene when we went to get my grandparents out of their house.



Another barn view



Our street circa 3pm

Prayers would be nice for the carroll family, the pastor of our church. They lost everything.

We had 1 (confirmed) fatality, they are still looking for several more. Tommorrow im going to help my neighbors get what they can out of their houses that can be salvaged, some of the houses will probably be condemned. Schlitterbahn is SOL, the crystal river is a mud river and most of the park was under water. You know Adobe Verde on business 35? it had bad water damage.


I wasnt really sure how close the water got to our house last night, but if we had 2 inches more of rain we would have had water in the house. The barn was 4 feet under water. And our neighbors house (see picture one) had 3 feet of water in it.

Cody is the first name, and his dad is named Brian IIRC. I think he drives a rednecked out dodge, and I haven't seen him since 7th grade, but I've been making a point to hit him up next time I'm in the area.

Wow... just wow.

It's feast or famine with the rain. Last 10 years have been low rainfall in the Hill Country. That hurts the river rats tourism. Then bang.... total flooding.

We will be over there in August to get in some kayaking.

Will add the Carrol family and all of yall in our prayers.

schlitterbahn had some minor damage and all the water turned brown, but other than that it's ok.

I know the dodge you are speaking of. I has a metal confederate flag as a grill, and is jacked up about 3 feet. The names sound familiar but I can't say I know them.

Only one section of the park is ok. All the rest is closed do to mud fouling.

Rocking R took some major damage all along the river. Several of their buses are demolished.
