UPDATE:
Bosque County Sheriff Trace Hendricks has ordered a mandatory evacuation for all RVs at the Bosque Bottoms RV Park. The RV park is located in Meridian along a bend of the Bosque River.
ORIGINAL STORY:
The Bosque County Sheriff's Office is recommending residents near the Bosque River evacuate by nightfall.
"Due to heavy rainfall both locally and upstream, it is now predicted that the Bosque River will rise dramatically through the night, possibly cresting around 4AM," reads a release from the sheriff's office. "If this occurs, we will experience another flood event similar to last year."
The release goes on to say that if property was affected or damaged in previous floods, the same risk is possible.
Deputies will assist in a mandatory evacuation if necessary.
