Hill Country braces for more severe weather as storms move through Texas
Much of the severe weather in Central Texas has been in the Hill Country.
SAN MARCOS, Texas - The line of thunderstorms that moved through the Hill Country caused some isolated flooding. But mainly the high water covered low-lying areas like the roadways in Boerne.
There was also intense lightning, that came with the storms, which posed the greatest threat. It all started Monday; that’s when a storm cell hit the home of Cheri Mayfield near Blanco. So far dodged a bullet, not too bad right now, it was a little scary, I got here to work around 3 o’clock and there was lots of thunder and lightning and I got, from my FOX 7 WAPP, I got an alert that said Blanco under a tornado watch so I was a little nervous, said Mayfield.

Highland Lakes residents and restaurants donated meals to area first responders so they could focus on the countless calls during the storm.
“Having those meals was a huge benefit,” said Marble Falls Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator Russell Sander. “With (area grocery stores) and many restaurants closed, we had no way to get food. It kept us fed to provide services to our citizens.”
