Rising Water Levels Drench Properties on Colorado River's Banks in Kingsland, Texas

Historic levels of flooding drenched Kingsland, Texas, on Wednesday, October 17, at the confluence of the Llano and Colorado rivers, forcing residential evacuations, fouling drinking water, and leaving one person dead, according to local coverage. On Tuesday, the swollen, rushing Llano River collapsed a bridge in Kingsland, about 65 miles northwest of Austin. A body was found in Lake Lyndon B Johnson, where two rivers meet. The person had not yet been identified, local officials told the Associated Press. Credit: bentley_n_frostie via Storyful
