Event narrative (NOAA)
Some rural residents were trapped in their homes by a major flash flood on the S. Llano River and Cedar Creek, in some cases requiring them to be rescued. Others awoke to find water in their homes and were able to evacuate themselves.||The Above and Beyond RV Resort, located adjacent to the South Llano River, was completely flooded, washing RVs and motor vehicles down stream, trapping people who sought refuge in trees in the park, and carrying some down the river. First responders who arrived at the scene before daylight, heard people, who they were unable to see in trees and on top of RVs, calling for help. They threw life preservers to the victims in the water. ||Miraculously, a woman who was staying at the RV park was carried about 23 river miles downstream before being rescued near Ya
