In yesterday’s post, I wrote about heavy rains overnight and standing water. I should have said how thankful I am. The brunt of the storm hit along a corridor running from San Antonio to Austin, Texas. I mentioned Donna’s friend, Kathy Palmer, being evacuated from the RV park they were staying at in San Marcos, Texas.

The RV park was the Pecan Park Riverside RV and Cabins. It’s on the bank of the Blanco River. The Blanco River was about five feet deep last week. It’s considered to be at flood stage when it reaches 13 feet. On Sunday night, the river crested at 40 feet. It flooded the RV park. Everything in the park was destroyed – the cabins, RVs left there, the site infrastructure and the park owner’s home. I lifted a few pictures of Pecan Park Riverside RV from this site.

RVs tossed aside by flood water

Thankfully no one was injured as everyone was evacuated in time. That can’t be said for everyone along the storm path.

Two families were reported to be staying in a vacation home on the Blanco River. The home was lifted off its foundation by the flood water and the house smashed into a bridge, completely obliterating it. Twelve people are missing and presumed dead.

Foundation and debris are all that’s left of this vacation home

The wind, tornados and flooding damaged or destroyed more than 1,000 homes. Four people were confirmed dead, killed by the storm. Our thoughts go out to those who’ve suffered from this storm.
