Just like in hurricanes, there are always some who don't listen.

Bingo.

Floods and flash floods in that area of Texas?? ... tell me it ain't so.

If you've lived in that part of Texas more than an hour and didn't know it's an historically recurring issue, shame on you ... and your real estate agent from California.

That said, praying for those who didn't realize it until too late and hope your loved ones are safe.

I drove downtown this morning and viewed the river. My guess would be it is at least five times it's normal width. Fortunately I live on a hill North of town (about 300 ft. elevation above the Guadalupe River in town.
