Everyone in Texas still there?

Looks like someone has been throwing the Old Testement into the weather report again. Hope no one got flooded out.

Was in north Texas this weekend for various crits. Water levels up there were higher than I had ever seen. Unreal seeing parks I used to go to completely underwater. And not just a few inches. Feet. Tops of benches were under water.

Then yesterday happened. Drove from Dallas to Austin and am surprised we didn't get blown off the road. Never driven in rain like that. Same story here as in NTX. Luckily we're north and high. Some friends downtown and south in San Marcos weren't so lucky. Randomly ran into a pal from San Marcos prior to leaving Dallas. He said his apartment complex had flooded, but the water spared him. Not sure if yesterday changed that. Hopefully. From what I understand, this is the worst flooding we have seen since before I was born.

Stay dry folks. I'm no stranger to flooding. It can be a nightmare. I hope you all stay safe and things dry out soon.

My extended family and family are ok but my cousin in Houston has been posting incredible pictures of the flooding on Facebook. There is going to be a lot of damage and more.

It's been a helluva 24 hours... 7+ days actually. Last afternoon's rainfall was something I have not seen in Austin. I've have had an address here since 1989 and have seen LOTS of flash floods. Nothing like this.

We are safe and without damage. But there are many that are not so fortunate.

Seeing SRV in water is kinda crazy.

My dad grew up on a cattle ranch outside of Austin. Once in the late 1980's there was a huge rains. my Granddad needed to do something across the creek before the rains really got bad. So he crosses the creek in this old Suburban does his thing and crosses again. But this time it gets stuck at the creek crossing (these are dirt roads at best) The water raises quickly to the doors, he crawls out of the window and floats to the bank and gets out and hikes home in the dark and rain which was about 4 miles. he was around 70. Two days later they find the suburban 2 miles down the creek from the crossing.
