On the Blanco River
Wimberley knows flood water. On Memorial Day weekend 2015, the Blanco River rose to a record crest and destroyed hundreds of homes, around 350 by later counts. Hill Country rain runs off fast over limestone and thin soil, so rivers and creeks can rise in hours. Away from the water, Wimberley's homes, many of them custom, older or built on slopes, see the same leaks as the rest of the area, plus wells and septic in places.
