Hill Country tragedy touches our community. [View all]

Just as city dwellers have vacation homes at the beach, a member of our beach community had a place in the Hill Country along the Guadalupe River and was there when it was swept away in the flood waters. She was able to hang on to a tree, was rescued and after being admitted to the hospital for cuts, bruises and scrapes has been released. However, her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren were not as fortunate.

The body of her daughter has been recovered. Her son-in-law and grandchildren are still unaccounted for, and the search remains active.
