The
Guadalupe River in Texas rose 26 feet in 45 minutes yesterday. There
is no effective flash flood warning system in the area. It washed away
vacation-holiday campers, many of them at Christian vacation camps in
the area. Roads and other infrastructure were simply washed away. It
is still raining upstream It may end up being a disaster of almost
unimaginable proportions. One young girl was recovered alive
who had been holding on to an air mattress for 3 hours in the flood
waters. At least 27 dead and dozens missing so far.

A terrible event. It's not the first time this has happened. The Corp of Engineers has built dams and redirected waterways in the past. In the end Mother Nature cannot be fully controlled.
