With Central Texas devastated by deadly floods, many are asking: What’s a 100-year or 1,000-year flood, and are these terms outdated?
Abbott listed that rescues took place in San Saba and Schleicher County, and evacuations occurred in Lampasas, Menard, Kimble and Sutton counties. A total of 131 are dead and roughly 101 remain missing-97 of which are from the Greater Kerrville area-following continued search and rescue efforts more than one week after the devastating Hill Country floods.
