Flood. Hurricane Harvey moved onshore as a Category 4 hurricane over San Jose Island east of Rockport during the late evening of August 25th. Harvey moved inland entering southern DeWitt County during the morning of August 26th as a Category 1 hurricane. It continued to weaken as it moved farther inland eventually reaching south central Gonzales County as a tropical storm during the late evening of August 26th. The center of the storm made a loop through Gonzales, Karnes, and DeWitt Counties before exiting our County Warning Area during the afternoon of August 27th moving into Victoria County. ||The eastern half of Hays County experienced tropical storm force winds with gusts as high as 50 mph during the storm. This produced some minor tree damage and knocked out power. 100 people were evacuated due to rising water on creeks and the threat of a small dam breach during the height of the event. A sinkhole developed on Highway 21 due to the heavy rain amounts. Across the county, rainfall totals averaged 8 to 12 inches along and east of Interstate 35. Monetary loss are estimates of road repair.
