of thoughts to mull around for all. Texas Hill Country prone to flooding: "Flood Facts: From 1998 to 2000, floods in Texas have taken over 100 lives, displaced more than 50,000 people and cost over 7.5 billion dollars. Nationally, deaths from all natural disasters are declining – except for flash flooding.
Texas holds six of the top 12 world records for rainfall of short duration and has floodplain acreage the size of North Carolina. “Flash Flood Alley” is a one-hour film that follows the lives of five Texans who rebuild after the great Central Texas flood of 1998. Read about this important film, see very helpful documents, media releases and film clips: http://floodsafety.com/media/ffa/contents_index.htm"

Easy to online search. Historic flooding for over 100 years. I lived in rural Texas on south end of hill country, and got caught in one of those big rain run offs.
