Seguin recovers after weekend flooding, damage cleanup underway, officials grateful for safety Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) — Heavy rains on Saturday drenched Seguin and much of Guadalupe County, dumping more than 8 inches of rain in some areas --- overwhelming local infrastructure. While the region avoided the tragic loss of life seen in other parts of the Texas Hill Country, flooding still caused significant disruptions across the city — stranding drivers, damaging city parks and drainage systems, and prompting an emergency response from local and county leaders. Guadalupe County Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Marshal Patrick Pinder described just how quickly conditions escalated. He says Saturday, many in Guadalupe County witnessed just how quickly a few hours of heavy rain can impact a community. Pinder says while the county was fortunate compared to our neighbors to the north, some areas in our county still received over 8 inches of rain, resulting in road closures and rising water levels
along the Guadalupe River. No fatalities were reported in Seguin or Guadalupe County, and most of the local water rescues involved stalled cars or people trapped by fast-rising water. Several drivers and shoppers were temporarily stranded in parking lots at H-E-B, Tractor Supply, Guadalupe Regional Medical Center (GRMC), Walgreens, and businesses in the Plaza Del Rey area. Many homes, restaurants, businesses and even churches throughout the area also experienced various levels of flooding. While emergency responders managed the situation quickly, Pinder said county resources will now shift toward helping other communities still in crisis. He says as the local flooding begins to subside, thoughts and prayers remain with those still searching for missing loved ones and with the brave first responders continuing rescue efforts across the Texas Hill Country.
