We've been known to have that sort of
thing happen in Texas too. TCR at Chalk Bluff on
the Nueces River in 1998 was an example. I think
we got about 20 inches of rain overnight. It
washed away the hot tub, flooded tents,
etc. Roads were closed by high water and debris
such that people couldn't even leave for several hours on Sunday.
