The Sheriff’s Office said people living near the river “should make arrangements to evacuate before nightfall.”
BOSQUE COUNTY, Texas — The Bosque County Sheriff’s Office posted a warning to its Facebook page Sunday saying that due to heavy rain the Bosque River may “rise dramatically” through the night and into Monday morning.
“If this occurs, we will experience another flood event similar to last year,” the post reads.
Joe West died on Sunday, May 5, 2024 as a flash flood tore through the home he shared with his wife and dog near Meridian Creek.
The sheriff’s office said anyone living near the river or creeks, should make arrangements to evacuate before nightfall.
“If your home or property were flooded or affected in previous floods, you are definitely at risk of experiencing the same hazard,” the post reads. “Deputies will be monitoring this closely and mandatory evacuation will be initiated if necessary.”
The Sheriff’s Office closed FM 927 between Morgan and Walnut Springs because of water over the road.
Meanwhile, search and recovery efforts continued across the Hill Country after catastrophic flooding overwhelmed Kerrville, Hunt and surrounding Kerr County communities early on July Fourth.
Kerr County authorities, alongside state and federal officials, said Sunday afternoon they had recovered at least 68 bodies so far, including 28 children. We’re beginning to learn more about them here.
