the BIG flood

Since it has basically been raining nonstop for over a week, it is only expected that we are now seeing some major problems starting to occur. Parts of central Texas have received over 18 inches of rain just since last night alone!!! Craziness I'm telling you! So, I thought I'd share some pictures with all of you just in case you didn't believe the stories...they were hard for me to believe until I saw them for myself.

San Gabriel Park

South San Gabriel River in Georgetown


This picture was taken from what is normally a 30 ft cliff overlooking the river!


These last 2 pictures are at the end of Anthony's parent's street. Yes, that is the stop sign completely surrounded in water. You can even see the little saw horse just barely sticking out of the water in the first picture that says, "water over bridge"...you think!?! Just a little side note....they live on a dead end street. So, needless to say, this being their only point of entry/exit, they are completely trapped in with no way to get out. Let's all just hope & pray that it doesn't get any worse or we might need to call Noah here pretty soon!



If you want to see any more pictures, just go to either http://www.kxan.com/ or http://www.kvue.com/. That is where I got all these pictures from. No, we did NOT swim over to the Guajardo house just to take these.
