'Considerable' flash flood warning issued in Llano County, Texas
Life-threatening flooding is looming in Llano County, Texas, located about 60 miles north of the devastating Kerr County floods.
A "considerable" flash flood warning has been issued. The ground is fully saturated, so the falling rain is headed straight to runoff and into rivers and creeks, allowing for flash flooding to begin immediately.
