The county from the air

28 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 848 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 28 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
November 2001Flash FloodCountywide1 killed, 20 hurt, $100,000Rainfall in Llano County began near 0300 CST and continued into the mid morning. By 6 am, accumulations were averaging 2 inches over the north part of the county and 4 inches over the south part. Total accumulations reached 4 inches over the northern part of the county and 6 inches across the southeast part. Flash flooding developed just before sunrise, with the worst problems across the southeastern part of the county, from Kingsland to Sunrise Beach. Numerous cars swept into flooded creeks along low water crossings in the Kingsland area. A 2-year old girl was pulled out of a flash flood near her home in Kingsland. She later died at a hospital.
October 2018Flash FloodLlano1 killed, $1,000,000Heavy rain caused an extensive rise in area creeks and rivers, pushing the Llano River to near 40 feet at the USGS river gauge in Llano. This is the 2nd highest ever recorded height on the river in the city of Llano. Flow peaked out about 285,000 CFS around 730 AM that morning nearly coming up to the level of the Highway 16 (Ford St.) bridge in town. Several homes were flooded along the river with damage to the area parks as well. A 58 year old woman lost her life in her vehicle as she was trying to get to work in town near West Sandstone and Flag Street. Time when she entered the water is unknown but is estimated around 5 AM that morning. Phone and internet service went down as the high water flow washed away phone lines underneath the Llano River Bridge. Damage in the city of Llano will likely surpass 1 million dollars.
October 2018FloodKingsland Williamsar$50,000,000Heavy rain across Llano County and points west produced a large flash flood on the Llano River. The flash flood emptied into Lake LBJ at Kingland, causing water to back up in the lake and flood areas as early as 7 am north of Kingland. Many homes along the canals had 4-6 feet of water in them. Many homes along Lake LBJ in Kingsland flooded, as well as areas down the lake at Sunrise Beach and Horseshoe Bay. Lake LBJ started to rise in the predawn hours and continued high through the day. In Llano County, preliminary damage assessments show estimates of 38 homes destroyed, 494 with Major damage, 140 with minor damage, and 49 that were affected. A few businesses also took on water. The FM 2900 highway bridge was destroyed with a total replacement cost estimated to be 20 million dollars. As of this writing, over 8 million has been paid out to Flood insurance claims with much more to likely come. Infrastructure loses including debris removal should surpass 12 million dollars. Home damage could easily be estimated at an additional 15 to 20 million dollars. As of this writing will place a damage estimate of 50 million although numbers could exceed this.
October 2018Flash FloodKingsland$20,000,000Heavy rain overnight produced flash flooding that washed away the FM 2900 bridge across the Llano River in Kingsland. A body was recovered near Kingsland and it was determined that this fatality came from a flood in the city of Junction the previous week. Damage to the bridge is estimated at 20 million dollars.

October 2006Thunderstorm WindKingsland$1,000,000The line of thunderstorms struck Kingsland in the late afternoon, producing widespread wind damage across the northwest part of the town. The winds were estimated at 70 knots, based on the worst damage which occurred generally along FM1431 from near its intersection with FM2900 northwestward to Oklahoma Street. This is an area almost one mile long and one half mile wide. Medium to large tree limbs were scattered all over the area and numerous large trees had been knocked over or broken off above the ground. The total number of damaged trees was in the hundreds. In addition, many homes were damaged as the trees fell. Many of these trees had very shallow root systems and some showed signs of disease. The legs of a tall, three-legged water tower near the intersection of RR14231 and RR2545 were twisted by the winds, causing the tower to lean almost 4 feet off center and damaging the tower. As a result, it began leaking and several homes were evacuated, fearing that it might collapse. Roofs were peeled off dozens of homes and large pieces of aluminum roofing were sent flying everywhere. This was probably the most dangerous and frightening part of the event. Fortunately there were no injuries. The storms left several neighborhoods without power through the night and into the following morning. The NWS survey indicated that all of the damage was blown toward the southeast. This, and the large size and shape of the damage area, led the NWS Survey Team to conclude the damage was caused by severe thunderstorm winds and not by a tornado or series of tornadoes.
