Heavy storms leave damage, flooded roads

More storms to arrive by Memorial Day

SAN ANTONIO – The storms that produced widespread flooding have pushed east of the area this morning. Still, flooding remains an issue for many areas.

That is especially true for areas along the Blanco River, where catastrophic flooding has resulted in numerous high-water rescues and evacuations.

Rainfall totals have been reported at up to 12 inches in Blanco, 9 inches in Boerne, and between 2.5-5 inches across San Antonio.

Hays County rescue operations

Law enforcement in Hays County is reporting nearly 350 homes are underwater in Wimberley due to record rises along the river.

Hundreds have been rescued or evacuated from their homes in areas in Wimberly and San Marcos.

"We urge everyone to recognize this continued threat and to take safety measures. Do not drive, travel or leave a safe location.  Do not attempt to go back to your residence today," said Lt. Jeri Skrocki of the Hays County Sheriff's Office.

Due to safety concerns of the possibility of additional flash flooding, a curfew was issued for Hays County from 9 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday.

Interstate 35 closed in San Marcos

Flooding also prompted the closure of Interstate 35 in both directions, near San Marcos, after water from the Blanco River spilled over the roadway.

Northbound traffic is being diverted to the Texas 130 toll road.

Blanco County damage

Flooded areas were also reported in Blanco County.

"Everyone at the RV park was alive but lost everything they owned," said KSAT viewer Lacey Enderle. "There was no warning for that water. It just rushed in. Everyone was pretty much in shock. If we hadn't left for that pasture when we did, everyone would have been in deep trouble. The debris is enormous."

Sunday afternoon outlook

Expect improvements throughout the day, with some sun possibly by the afternoon.

Highs today should warm into the mid 80s. An isolated storm will be possible this afternoon, but expect far less coverage than yesterday's activity.

More storms are scheduled to arrive by Memorial Day, with flooding once again becoming an issue.
