‘Catastrophic’: Flood of historic proportions ravages county

By Moses Leos III

Three people are dead and 11 people are still missing after the Blanco River swelled to a historic level of 43.2 feet early Sunday, causing extensive damage in the Wimberley and San Marcos areas. 

Authorities said Tuesday that search and rescue  and recovery operations are ongoing and that the search is extending throughout the river. Many areas, however, are still not accessible. According to officials, search teams continue to comb through debris piles.
