Texas flood photos


I-45 near N. Main, on the north side of downtown Houston.  This is a regular occurrence every time we get a hard rain.  (Click the pictures for a larger view.)



Bridges over the Brazos Blanco River near Wimberley, Texas (above and below).


Zilker Park, Austin.


Rescued at Lamar Blvd. and 15th Street, Austin.


More Houston flood pictures here and here.

Update:


This picture reflects the scene less than a mile from my house.  As earlier recounted, we stayed high, dry, electrified, and safe.

Texas relies more on federal disaster funding than any other state, but its relationship with FEMA is often strained.
