(1/15/10) – About 95 Texas National Guardsmen are standing by in preparation for possible flash flooding from heavy rains that will move through the San Antonio and Austin areas this weekend. According to local news reports, UH-60 Blackhawk crewmembers and other Guard members with cargo trucks capable of fording standing water several feet deep are ready for any contingency.
Central Texas is known by many as Flash Flood Alley and officials said they will be closely monitoring the Brazos, Nueces and Guadalupe Rivers for any flooding.
Should they be needed, the Texas Guard members would work closely with and assist local authorities as needed, Guard officials said.
