Central Texas is experiencing a severe flash flood emergency primarily affecting northwest Travis County, far eastern Burnet County, and parts of Williamson and Williamson counties around Lake Travis. Since early July 5, rainfall totals have ranged from 10 to nearly 20 inches in some areas, with rates reaching up to 3-7 inches per hour. The National Weather Service has repeatedly issued flash flood emergencies and warnings, urging residents to seek higher ground due to life-threatening conditions. The flooding has caused catastrophic damage, including the destruction of an RV park near Georgetown, Texas, where 36 occupied RVs and 11 tiny homes were swept away within minutes. Additional flooding has impacted tributaries such as Cow Creek and Big Sandy Creek, which have risen by at least 10 feet and remain out of their banks. The flooding is linked to stationary storms associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry. Rescue efforts continue as communities assess damage and cope with ongoing rainfall and flooding. Flash flood warnings remain in effect as heavy rains persist across Central Texas.
