Flash flood video from Center Point Texas

Very well done video showing the flash flood on the Guadalupe river. Hopefully, I found the original video.

Flash Flood Wall Slams Center Point Texas

The river goes from nearly dry to impassable in thirty seconds. In a little over thirty minutes, the entire flood plane is full.

I've been told this kind of thing can happen, but watching it really drives home how fast the river can change.

This morning the news said the river rose 25 feet in 45 minutes. Many of these Western rivers can behave this way. It may not even be raining where you are paddling. Rain upstream can cause flash floods.
