Event narrative (NOAA)
Heavy rain across Llano County and points west produced a large flash flood on the Llano River. The flash flood emptied into Lake LBJ at Kingland, causing water to back up in the lake and flood areas as early as 7 am north of Kingland. Many homes along the canals had 4-6 feet of water in them. Many homes along Lake LBJ in Kingsland flooded, as well as areas down the lake at Sunrise Beach and Horseshoe Bay. Lake LBJ started to rise in the predawn hours and continued high through the day. In Llano County, preliminary damage assessments show estimates of 38 homes destroyed, 494 with Major damage, 140 with minor damage, and 49 that were affected. A few businesses also took on water. The FM 2900 highway bridge was destroyed with a total replacement cost estimated to be 20 million dollars
