Heartbreaking Video Shows Dear Being Washed Away
The flooding in Central and East Texas has been horrible lately. Flood videos have been continuously popping up on my social feeds and some of them are heartbreaking. This video was posted to Facebook by KWTX News 10...

Last week, Huntsville received over 12 inches of rain and Lewisville received almost 11 inches of rain in 24 hours. Here is a video from College Station posted to TikTok by accuweather. She was able to get out of her car and get to safety.
@accuweather "What Are You Doing?!" A motorist drove through a flooded parking lot and directly into a creek hidden by the water in College Station, Texas. This is why it is important to remember, 'TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.' #flood #flooding #weather #texas #driving #fyp ♬ original sound - AccuWeather
THE FLOOD OF 98'
It seems just like yesterday! The one image that has stayed with me is the cow standing on the rooftops in Cuero that made National Media. If you remember back, 30-plus inches of rain fell upriver in San Marcos and New Braunfels, which caused the Guadalupe River to crest at a historic high that has not been seen since.
The Guadalupe crested in Victoria at 33.85 feet at 2 p.m. that Tuesday afternoon, October 20, 1998. The flood stage is 21 feet. While those numbers were high, Cuero had it much worse. The Guadalupe River in Cuero crested at 49.8 feet in Cuero, flood stage is 20 feet. Turn around don't drown.
