Summary
Flash floods in Gillespie County forced over 30 rescues as the Pedernales River surged, with emergency crews and a helicopter from Tango 82 Aviation racing to save lives—especially in low-lying areas near Highway 16 South. Community and first responder teamwork made the difference, while residents rallied behind the crews. As waters receded Thursday evening, crews turned to damage assessment: roads washed out, debris everywhere, and one bridge vanished—leaving Highway 16 South closed. The county judge declared a local disaster to unlock state and federal aid, and a shelter opened for displaced residents. Report any damage to help recovery efforts.
