URGENT FLOOD WARNING: North Fork of Guadalupe River Rising Rapidly
HUNT, Texas — A dangerous surge of floodwater is rapidly moving down the North Fork of the Guadalupe River, prompting immediate evacuation orders for communities in Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville, according to emergency management officials.
Zac Hale, a volunteer assisting with search and recovery operations, reported that teams working along the riverbanks have now been evacuated due to a new wave of floodwater barreling downstream.
“We assisted with search efforts through debris piles and have now been pulled out. More flood water is coming fast,” Hale stated.
All emergency personnel have been ordered off the river and relocated to higher ground as a safety precaution.
Authorities have completely restricted access to and from Hunt, citing hazardous conditions caused by submerged and impassable low-water crossings. Emergency crews urge the public to stay out of the area.
Multiple agencies are issuing emergency flood alerts, warning of significant, life-threatening flooding along the North Fork of the Guadalupe River. Helicopters are actively flying overhead, using loudspeakers to instruct residents to evacuate immediately and move to higher ground.
“This is a rapidly developing and extremely dangerous situation. If you are anywhere near the Guadalupe River basin, do not delay. Evacuate to higher ground now,” officials said.
The Guadalupe River basin, already heavily saturated from historic rainfall earlier this week, is experiencing renewed flash flooding as additional water surges from upstream sources.
This comes in the aftermath of devastating floods that have already claimed dozens of lives and left many still unaccounted for, particularly near Camp Mystic and surrounding communities.
Residents and visitors in Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, and along the river corridor are being asked to immediately alert family and neighbors and to avoid all river access points.
“Tell your people and save lives. Get out of the riverbed. Get to safety. Another wall of water is coming,” emergency responders emphasized.
Please continue to monitor alerts from local emergency agencies, stay off the roads unless evacuating, and do not attempt to cross flooded areas.
This is a developing emergency.
Further updates will be issued as new information becomes available.
