"The total amount of rainfall is not really changing but it is being condensed into more of these short, high-intensity events and then longer periods of drought. So we’re basically getting more drought and more #floods because the rainfall is being condensed into these high-intensity events." https://www.texasobserver.org/hill-country-rural-texas-resources-floods/

Hey y'all. There has been serious, significant, live ending floods in the hill country of Texas. Dozens of little girls are still missing. Scores of people are dead.

If you are in the Dallas area, the Chisholm fire department is collecting the following to take to Kerrville: hygiene items, bleach, brooms, shovels, heavy duty trash bags, sponges, tarps and fans. Please, no clothes or furniture.

Please don't go try to help right now, you'll just get in the way. We can help them rebuild when it' safe to return.

Donations can be dropped off at: 1345 W Farm to Market Rd 550, Heath, TX 75032

June 30 to July 2nd, 1936

"A very heavy rain fell over the upper Guadalupe River Basin, west of Korrville, from June 30 to July 2. This rein amounted to over 36 inches 1in about 36 hours at the State Pish Hatchery above Ingram. Record-break- ing stages were experienced on all streams above Kerrville, and on the Guadalupe River to a point below Spring Branch. Along the streams in the hills above Kerrville are many sumer homes, resorts, and camps for boys and girls. Most of these places were damaged by the floods, many of them being almost completely destroyed. There was much apprehension for the safety of the people in these camps, especially for the younger boys and girls, but fortunately all were safe. The fact that the flood occurred in the day rather than at night no doubt accounts for no loss of 1ife in the camps. "

In the Wedina River above Medina Lake a flood occurred greater than had been known before. The area drained by this stream is not thickly inhabditated, and the peak discharges per square mile of drainage ares were much lower than in the Guadalupe River Basin. No great amount of damage was done along this stream.
