Heavy rainfall occurring approximately at 4 AM this morning in Uvalde, Knippa and other areas of Uvalde County dumped even more water on already saturated soil resulting in area-wide flooding and road closures.
Inside the city limit, Puccini Lane, East Leona Road and 4th Street by Dalton Elementary School were closed due to water over the roadway. Other city roads prone to flooding were likely closed.
Just before 10AM this morning, a downpour over Uvalde caused East Main Street to experience water buildup sometimes on both westbound lanes.
County Road closures were discussed briefly at this morning’s Uvalde County Municipal Court. County Road Administrator Dee Kirkpatrick told Uvalde County Judge William “Bill” Mitchell that FM 127 between Sabinal and Concan was closed due to flooding as well as CR248 known as River Road due to the rise of the Frio River.
