Texas Flooding: Catastrophic Blanco River Surge
Weather officials warned of life-threatening flash flooding across parts of south-central Texas as heavy rainfall sent regional rivers surging over their banks. The National Water Center issued a stark warning, stating that "catastrophic flooding" will pose a "significant threat to life and property" across the region through Friday. Footage captured by local resident Gary Nash showed the Blanco River swelling rapidly, transformed into a torrent of fast-flowing floodwaters as the storm system moved through the area. Emergency management personnel are urging residents in low-lying areas to monitor local water levels closely, heed all evacuation orders, and avoid travel on flooded roadways.
