Heavy rainfall has triggered flooding in south-central Texas, affecting Bandera and Bexar counties and the city of Schertz. In Schertz, a state of emergency was declared: mandatory evacuation for Pecan Grove RV Park, voluntary for Aviation Heights blocks 200-300. The National Weather Service forecasts dangerous rises on Cibolo Creek from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
In Bandera County, Judge Evans signed an evacuation order for RV parks along the Medina River, where water levels are expected to rise nearly 14 feet. The National Weather Service predicts the river could reach 24.7 feet, comparable to the record 1987 flood. At 24 feet, Pioneer RV Park would flood; at 25 feet, all sites would be underwater. Over 30 roads are closed in the county, with flood warnings through Thursday evening.
In Bexar County, residents in Heart of Bexar, Evergreen, Yolanda, and West San Antonio Avenue are advised to voluntarily evacuate or prepare to shelter in place. New Braunfels officials temporarily closed the Comal River for recreation.
