Why this matters in Terrell Hills News
The mandatory evacuation order in Comal County due to flood risk along the Guadalupe River has significant implications for nearby Terrell Hills . Although the evacuation zone does not directly affect Terrell Hills, residents should be aware of the potential for flooding in the San Antonio area. The Guadalupe River's floodwaters could eventually flow into the San Antonio River, which runs through the heart of Bexar County, where Terrell Hills is located. This could lead to increased flood risk and disruptions to daily life, including potential school closures. The fact that a shelter has been opened at Spring Branch Middle School suggests that the flooding may affect a large number of people, and Terrell Hills residents should be prepared for possible evacuations or disruptions in their own community. Residents should stay informed about the flood risk and be prepared to take action if necessary.
