Aug 23, 1998
Flooding along the headwaters of the Frio River was devastating, but campers had been removed in advance from the camps, preventing the need for dangerous last-minute rescues. Still, the flooding covered the entire camping area of Garner State Park in northeast Uvalde County. Water was reported to be five to six feet deep in some of the park building. Parts of some park structures were destroyed by the flood and washed downstream. Picnic tables and debris were strewn everywhere. Steel sign
