CNN reports:
The San Gabriel River at Georgetown South Fork, located about 30 miles north of Austin, is expected to crest near 30 feet this afternoon, which is major flood stage. This would result in flooding for many streets and roads, as well as threatening the lowest homes above Georgetown to Granger Lake, National Weather Service meteorologists warned this morning.
Additional heavy rain is expected in those areas today. An additional 5 inches may be added to rainfall totals, with rainfall rates of 3 to 6 inches in one hour a possibility. This could lead to additional rounds of flash flooding.
Early Saturday, 6.5 inches (a 1-in-100-year rainfall rate) to 7.5 inches (a 1-in-200-year rainfall rate) of rain fell in just 3 hours in Burnet, Texas — which amounts to a 1% chance or less of this happening in any given year.
