The rain across the hill country has finally reached the falls! The river is flowing higher and louder, but not high enough to be considered a flood. We have more rain on the way, so we may see flow like this for the rest of the week!
A cold front is moving in to the hill country today, so temperatures will be very low this week. Be sure to check the weather and dress appropriately before coming out this week!

Wow!! Right now! Take a look at this amazing image of the cold and warm fronts merging at the yellow line in Texas. 😳
