Big Llano River rise draws crowds for flood viewing
Llano River swelled and crested near 30 feet on Saturday drawing residents to the Liang River bridge and park. Spectators watched logs and debris move downstream while five park visitors were bitten by a water moccasin, one fatally. By Sunday morning the river fell about ten feet but remained a roaring force. The piece notes flood cleanup hopes and local quirks including a joke about a zero-dollar life insurance premium and Texas Longhorn fan chatter.
