Williamson County Judge Steven Snell and Bruce Clements, director of emergency management, held a press conference Tuesday, April 21, to inform the community about the flooding due to the heavy rainfall.
Parts of the county officially received two to five inches of rain in a matter of hours, with the western section of Williamson County noting around seven inches. Forty-four roads are currently closed throughout the county. Twenty people and 17 recreational vehicles from the Shady River and Goodwater RV parks along Texas 29 were evacuated earlier Tuesday.
At 7:40 a.m., Clements said one of the reference points in San Gabriel River that the county monitors were at seven feet, but the river has currently reached more than 13 feet.
