scouserl41 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 We aren't too far away from there in Lakehills TX. In the last 2 nights we've had 1 tornado warning and 3 flash flood warnings! From in the last 8 days between staying in Austin and here we've had 12" of rain. Luckily we're on a hill and everything has stayed dry so far.

duraduk Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Our home base is in San Marcos, TX. Fortunately we live in highlands so no flooding but all the low area's around town have been flooded. We had 14.5 inches of rain in less than 4 hours.

docj Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 We spent last night on the southside of Houston. Between the weather radio and the phones, it seemed as if we had alerts every 15 minutes. What a lousy night's sleep! At the worst point of the night we were within an area where the alert was "Seek shelter NOW!" Fortunately, the detailed radar image on Weather Underground made it possible to identify where we were relative to the cell with the observed rotation. By morning Weather Underground had reported 7 tornado sightings on the south and east sides of the city. We were very lucky! This morning we drove to Port Aransas. Getting out of Houston was a bit rougher than we had thought it was going to be. Fortunately at 9 am on a rainy Saturday there wasn't too much traffic on the Sam Houston, which was good since we were all going 45-50 mph. We didn't leave the rain completely behind until Ganado.

kb0zke Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Seems like there is a good reason for having wheels on an RV. Earlier this summer we got a knock on the door at 0600. The ranger apologized for waking us up (he didn't) and said that they were closing the park at noon because of rising water. We were gone by 0800 and the water only had to rise a few more inches to start lapping at the road. We called back later and found out that the water actually covered the tops of the electric posts.

budeneighe Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I've gotten too old for this bad weather crap! What used to thrill now frightens. I am becoming less willing to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune because recovering from it now takes my body and spirits too long and they usuall leave a mark.

Solo18 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Uh, I have a reservation for Cranes Mill on Canyon Lake in 9 days. Anyone know what the status of that campground is? I checked Recreation.gov and it is still taking reservations there. No warnings, but if Potter's Creek is so messed up, I would expect some damage to this one. I think I will call the campground tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I think I will call the campground tomorrow. That is probably the best plan. The lake website says that Crane's Mill has the RV area open but the tent area is closed and that there is some flood damage. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

chirakawa Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Could California borrow A LITTLE of the water? You'd just make mud with it and let it slide off into the ocean.

Al F Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 It seems like the RV Park right under the I-35 bridge over the Guadalupe river in New Braunfels get flooded every 2-4 years. But that shouldn't surprise anyone, it is right on the edge of a good sized river (at least in Texas it is considered a good sized river). I have never understood the reason RV'ers would want to stay here. The noise from trucks going over the bridge right above your head must be deafening. It does get good reviews on RV Reviews.com http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/texas/new-braunfels/river-ranch-rv-resort though.
