Greg Abbott: “For the Nueces river near Uvalde, the old high crest was 96…”

“I wouldn't call it a new norm if you go back and I don't remember if I gave you the dates or not when I talked about the high crests. But For the Nueces river near Uvalde, the old high crest was 96. For the Freer river near Uvalde, it was 2007. The old crest for the Pearl analysis, it was 2019. For the Guadalupe river near Comfort, it was 1978. So throughout the decades, there have been different times when there was high rain in those areas. And so it just comes at different times of the course of history.” (16:11–16:25)
