Br-:
I am still in shock about the flooding. We had a "100 year flood" in 1998, where the Guadalupe river was about 20' over flood stage. This flood is similar, except that the water is coming behind the Canyon Lake dam about fifteen miles upstream from New Braunfels. In the previous flood, most of the rain occurred below the dam.
There are about 200 houses lost thus far (not including the severe damage that will occur downstream with three other communities that are on the river.). There is supposed to be another surge of water later tonight, which may raise the flood level 10-15' above the previous flood, and that will likely take another 100 or so houses. I am fortunately about 30' (I think) above the river. There are going to be a lot of people suffering from their losses which will again demonstrate the sharing of our community.
