It is no surprise that the drought has worsened for most of South Central Texas. However, there has been some improvement in Bastrop and Lee counties this spring due to the heavy rainfall.

San Antonio’s rainfall total for the year sits at 8.12 inches — over 4 inches below the normal of 12.28 inches. Other areas, such as Austin and Del Rio, are also showing rainfall amounts well below average this year.

Flash flooding

To stay safe and avoid a flash flood, prioritize finding higher ground and avoid any floodwaters altogether. If you encounter floodwaters, find another route. Turn around, don’t drown. It only takes 6 inches of moving water to sweep you off your feet and a full foot to float a car.
