My boss biked around there from EaDo this morning. Flooded from the theater district to market square.

I'm right at Main and McKinney and it's ok at the moment. No flooding near here that I've seen. As mentioned above, the area around the Alley theater is under water apparently.

I'm in Idylwood, Wayside and Lawndale,(figured this was the closest topic area for the East End) Brays has been out of its banks since Sat evening/ Sun morning which isnt surprising, but I've lived in the neighborhood my whole life and this is the first time I've seen the bayou run up onto the Lawndale bridge - this was on Sunday afternoon. However, I saw it was passable around noon today.

My house is closer to Wayside and so far so good. Most of the flooding seems to be where it always is at the park and over N. MacGregor running up some of the neighborhood streets from there. My mother in law lives in Eastwood near S.F. Austin high school and all seemed okay in that area. Ive heard that the Fiesta on Wayside, right across from Wortham Golf Course, is open in case anyone in the area needs food/supplies.

I haven't made it further into downtown than Lockwood so I cant comment on how that area is doing.

It may not be incredibly helpful but this is from the Waugh/Memorial bridge yesterday around 2pm.

We've had constant rain since then. I've not been out to check. I'm in Spring Branch (ish) and the floors of homes are dry around here but the ground can't take any more water (obviously) so ground water levels are entirely dependent upon how fast it falls from the sky.

Will try to get more info and pictures when possible.
