Event narrative (NOAA)

The Blanco River rose to above bankfull stage late on the evening of November 14, but remained below flood stage. Two people attempted to drive through a low water crossing on Post Oak Road where the Blanco River crosses just south of Kyle. The car was swept into the river and washed downstream. The man was rescued after catching on to a tree. The woman also caught on to a tree but lost her grip and was swept away and drowned.
