prone to flash flooding due to the dry dirt-packed areas where the soil lets rain skid along the surface of the landscape instead of soaking it up.<\/p>\n<p>Friday&#8217;s flash floods started with a particularly bad storm that dropped most of its 12 inches of rain in the dark early morning hours.<\/p>\n<p>Dalton Rice, Kerrville&#8217;s city manager, explained how the Guadalupe River flooded so quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you look at the headwaters of the Guadalupe&#8230; there&#8217;s a north and a south fork,&#8221; Rice said Friday night. &#8220;Since 1987, under normal conditions, if you can call it that, you&#8217;ll hit water in one of those areas, and those two forks will converge into the Guadalupe, which comes through the city of Kerrville.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This rain event sat on top of that and dumped more rain than what was forecasted on both of those forks,&#8221; Rice continued. &#8220;When we got the report, it was about 7 feet or so on the south fork, and within a matter of minutes it was up to 29 feet, and all of that converged at Guadalupe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
