Flooding along the Blanco RiverAt Wimberley, the Blanco River crested at 26.7 feet, with flood stage at 13 feet. Several businesses in Wimberley were flooded. The worst flooding was along Cypress Creek, which may well have been produced as the Blanco River backed up into the Wimberley business district, and runoff coming down Cypress Creek.
