The rain that fell from July 13 to July 17 was truly devastating. <\/p>\n

In an 1,800-square mile stretch of the Hill Country \u2014 from Hondo through Uvalde, up toward Camp Wood and Utopia \u2014 anywhere between 15\u2033 and 27\u2033 of rain fell.<\/p>\n

If you convert that to volume of water<\/a>, the amount balloons to an estimated to 480,000,000,000 gallons \u2014 a staggering amount that could fill a 40-gallon bathtub 12,000,000,000 times.<\/p>\n

This massive volume of water resulted in destructive rises in the Frio, Sabinal, Nueces, Guadalupe and Pedernales Rivers. <\/p>\n

Cibolo Creek, Hondo Creek and other local creeks and streams rose to dangerous levels, as well.<\/p>\n

While the bull\u2019s-eye of the highest totals was focused mainly over Uvalde, Medina, Real and Kinney Counties, plenty of other areas saw destructive rainfall totals, as well. <\/p>\n

Take a look around other parts of the San Antonio metro area and the Hill Country, <\/p>\n
