Pedernales Flood Emergency Widens To Blanco County As Gauge Nears 30 Feet
The Gillespie evacuation warning became a flash flood emergency reaching into Blanco County as the river gauge closed on 30 feet.
- Flash flood emergency now covers both Gillespie and Blanco counties along the Pedernales River corridor.
- Fredericksburg's river gauge sits near or above 30 feet, well past ordinary flood stage.
- News 4 San Antonio's live stream has tracked the rising water since the morning alert.
Why it matters: A warning upgraded to an emergency renames the danger; it does not slow the river by one foot.
