COMAL COUNTY – Authorities have lifted an evacuation order for River Road along the Guadalupe River, between Sattler and Gruene.
Comal County lifted the order Saturday evening after the National Weather Service allowed the flash flood emergency in east central Comal County to expire at 6:30 p.m.
The Comal County Sheriff’s Office reminded residents and visitors to be careful when in areas that are subject to flash flooding in a post announcing the order being lifted.
The original warning, which expired at 3 p.m., originally included north central Bexar County, west central Comal County, southern Williamson County, southwestern Caldwell County, northwestern Gonzales County and eastern Guadalupe County.
The Comal County Sheriff’s Office said it was evacuating River Road in a Facebook post just after 11 a.m. Saturday.
Four to six inches of rain has occurred, “and flash flooding is ongoing,” the National Weather Service said.
Residents are urged to evacuate immediately, and stay tuned to official updates from the county and the weather service.
“If you live near the river, don’t wait for conditions to worsen,” the sheriff’s office said. “Move to higher ground now.”
