We just went down to the trails to check out Brushy River/lake.

Jim told us to put on our bike helmets.
Not sure I would want a picture of me wearing one. Inside.
Actually, he said for the kiddos in the tornado warning areas to put on their bike helmets.
My sister's driveway has been washed away and their trampoline is on a neighbors roof.
Most of their chickens have been swept away

At least one good thing came out of it.
I kid. Sorta.
71 just outside of Bastrop is flooded.
West of town?
East
Any idea on how I can tell my friend to get around it to get into Austin?

shes sort of ****ed
Where exactly is she?
Um, well I'm looking on the map right now, flooding stats at 180 (this tiny dinky road). So east of Tahitian and where 71 merges (kinda) with 21
Only clear route I see is going east to smithville and taking 95 to 10. She could catch the toll Ed in seguin and head north. Going to be a pita though
Tell her to get a bottle of booze, a hotel room, and to stay the f8ck right where she is until day light tomorrow.
Fo reals.

Hah well it's actually a he, so keep in mind I'm dealing with a very hard head. So looks like going through Smithville is the plan right now, but they're thinking of going north to getting to 290
May be some flooding at 21 and 290. Just fyi
I'm seeing the flooding on 21, not 290. I think if he hits it on 290, he will be stopping for the night.
Huh, just drove from San Antonio to Dallas. The rain kinda sucked but I didn't realize the flooding was that bad.
Flood warning in Austin till 12:15 am tonight. Your friend is an idiot if he wants to keep driving.
My advice was, and still is, good.

He's stopping in Smithville and staying there, but it looks like the homes are near flooding
nvm
Wow. That's pretty crazy.
OH: This **** may be worse than '81. So many flood control improvements have been implemented in the last 30 years, yet Shoal Creek is wetter than a cougar at a frat party.
It's freaking orange outside!
That improved tunnel really did its job! Maybe that and the 15+ high rise condos downtown. Need to drive up tomorrow and check on the lakehouse on Lake LBJ. Should be fine but tornado was pretty close.
How many tornadoes hit Texas today? Judging by texags it's at least 100
100 might be a conservative number.
And all of Texas will be under water.
One of my chickens did a poor job of finding appropriate cover this afternoon...
That's the second chiken that didnt find appropriate cover today.
At least it's still alive and can be dinner soon. Or lay eggs. Whatever.
When was that from?
I've gotta believe that it's yesterday
I would like to float the tin foil hat balloon theory that Texas has been in a drought BECAUSE of Blue Bell. And once they shut down, well..BLAMMO. Lake Travis is filling back up. And it's raining everywhere.
Prove me wrong.
