Much of the run-off has made it's way into larger creeks and streams,
meaning portions of the Devils River, West Nueces River, South Llano
River and their larger tributaries will make low water crossings
impassable for several hours with rapid rises that could be
life-threatening at downstream locations.

deaths occur in vehicles.
Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.
Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where
