What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Four to eight inches of rain fell over much of Kimble County, with ten inches reported at Segovia and 16 inches a few miles north of Segovia. The heavy rains and floodwaters closed Farm-to-Market roads and highways throughout the county. Water was five feet deep at the entrance to South Llano State Park. The county judge estimated millions of dollars of damage on roads and bridges.
Heavy rains fell across Kimble County producing widespread flooding throughout the county. At the height of the flood several roads were closed due to high water, including Highway 377. Most of the property damage was due to road washouts.
The South Llano River flooded the South Llano State Park and flowed over Highway 377 for almost a day and a half. The bulk of the water came from heavy rains that fell on the upper end of the South Llano River in Northern Edwards County. There were several waves of heavy rains over southern Kimble County that produced several rises on the river as well and kept the river elevated for a long period of time.
