Thunderstorms produced heavy rain that led to flash flooding. At approximately 8:07 PM local time, Blanco County Fire/EMS responded to a call about a vehicle that had been swept away due to flood waters on the Blanco River just east of the City of Blanco. One passenger was found downstream 800 yards of where the vehicle went into the water. She was rescued successfully but a second passenger, a 74 year old woman, was found deceased about 60 yards from the vehicle at approximately 10:56 PM.
