The San Marcos River near Luling hit major flood levels Sunday night as the rain continued to fall. Residents were on edge and watched as the river was rising, but they said they were prepared to evacuate if needed.
The National Weather Service said flood stage for the river is 20 feet, major flood stage was 30 feet or more and at 7:45 pm it hit 30.06 feet.
Samantha Matura has lived in Luling for 21 years, “Not knowing what the river is going to do especially overnight is very very worrisome. With all the rain coming, I don’t know what’s going to happen with this one so we’ve been kinda waiting and watching,” she said.
