Why this matters in Terrell Hills News
The flash flooding concerns in Medina and Bexar counties will likely have a direct impact on commuters in Terrell Hills , who frequently travel through the affected areas. With about 30 roads closed, including Hwy 471 near Helotes, residents can expect significant delays and detours on their daily routes. The rising water near Castroville is also a concern, as it may lead to further road closures and disruptions to local traffic. As the water continues to rise, Terrell Hills residents who work or attend school in nearby areas should plan for alternative routes and allow extra time for their commutes.
