Forget the 100 yr flood. ""Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon estimates the rain we saw in May was "a one-in-2,000-year event."

Colorado had "biblical" floods the year before last as well, referred to as thousand-year floods:

I just drove down CR 4010 east of Decatur, Tx and there is a pasture there with a good size stock tank in it but today that tank is literally probably 1 mile long, maybe more. The water went as far as I could see . Crazy ! I hope they got the cattle out of there in time.

Some feel good news for balance.

Wimberley High School
http://hs.wimberleyisd.net/apps/news/article/471778

The seniors at WHS cancelled their senior trip and donated the funds and their time to the recovery instead. Today it was announced, they're being offered 3 day passes to one of the biggest events in Austin coming up by the sponsors.

I hope that puts smiles on many faces.

Very cool to see, thank you for sharing this aerial video, SCHMAE. I did a couple of screen grabs. Interesting, there seemed to be cranes or some kind of bird right where both roads are washed away.

The tweaked one is enlarged so you can see the bird a bit better.

I'm sure they're grabbing fish. This is a buffet for the birds.

Also at Grapevine lake, waves from watercraft are damaging buildings that are submerged....... Have you ever heard of such?

Little Leighton still has not been found? I keep looking out for her every day.

I cant find anything on the man they found on Northwest Hwy and California crossing drowned on foot, I'm worried about my homeless Santa guy on the bike (anyone who frequents this area has seen him , he looks like Santa and kicks his feet up and yells "yippee" when you drive by him) I have taken him pizza on Fridays and I haven't seen him I really hope its not him
