KENDALL COUNTY, Texas — When word started to spread that Kerr County was being ravaged by flooding on the Guadalupe River early July 4, many people downstream in Kendall County knew they were next.

A review of calls to their 911 dispatch center reveals that numerous people called, asking for details on when the waters might rise.

One man went further, saying he was concerned for onlookers who were putting themselves at risk just trying to see if the water had made it downstream yet.

"They're walking down under that big bridge to see the water to come in and... I can see where they're about to lose lives," the man said. "I was like y'all need to get away from this. This river it's coming right now!"

The caller said people who wanted to take pictures were doing so in spite of the risk.
