It’s the last day of May! Whoo!
Unfortunately, April showers did not bring May flowers to Texas, and as much as we need the rain because we are STILL in a drought, we have had enough. We have had extreme flooding that has had rivers rising to historic levels. You might have seen something like this rolling around on Facebook:
In honesty, it’s accurate in two ways: the massive amounts of water that have flooded areas, as well as our area not being used to (or very prepared for) this type of extreme flooding. Lake Travis rose 7 feet in 12 hours, and 25 feet within 30 days. Interstate Highway 35 (that runs through Austin) was shut down in certain areas further south (Kyle, San Marcos area), roadways were washed out and several towns were evacuated. My college town, San Marcos, was one that was evacuated, as well as the charming Wimberley. There are people still missing and unaccounted for, and the rain keeps falling. Please keep these people in your thoughts and prayers.
