It’s Wednesday July 15th. 

Born on this date in 1946 was 11 time grammy winner and Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Linda Ronstadt who turns 80 today.

Another day of rain in a saturated Hill Country.  We are under a Flood Watch until at least 7:00 tonight.  Boerne is currently under a category 3 out of 4 for flood risk, with areas to the west in a 4 out of 4. 

Our friend Chris at the Boerne Life gave an eye witness report on a 101% full Boerne Lake.  

Boerne Radio listeners were reporting more full rain gauges yesterday - Pamela Muenzler who is between Boerne and Comfort reported 4.75”, Laura Mancill off of Ranger Creek said all 3 of her gauges overflowed at 6”,  and Linda Barker who is 13 miles north of Bandera reported 7” so far. 

Yesterday the Cibolo Creek turned into a river when it crossed the road at Battle Intense in Fair Oaks Ranch. After closing down the road, Fair Oaks Ranch crews worked diligently to reopen it by removing debris and clearing the water that had accumulated. A mere 90 minutes later, the Battle Intense crossing was flooded again and had to be closed again.

At this week’s Board Meeting, Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District has eased restrictions from Drought Stage 3 to Stage 2, citing improved groundwater levels, recent rain, and stronger streamflow. Domestic well owners may water by sprinkler on their assigned weekday before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m. Hand watering is allowed anytime. More details at CCGCD.org.

Each year, the Comfort Baptist Church hosts a Backpack Outreach Program to prepare bags and supplies for students in need. They currently have over 120 orders from students, and are asking the community for donations. Composition books, Kleenex, pens, glue sticks, you name it! You can drop off donations at the Church in Comfort.
