No, but it has been raining off and on for i dont know how long. Maybe 2 weeks? So far this stretch of rain has been falling no stop since sunday night. Its cold too.

The Army Corps didn’t provide us with a list of the nation’s worst dams. Texas alone has over 7,000 hazardous dams that threaten lives but detailed lists are kept secret by state government which said it can’t let such information fall into the hands of terrorists.

The Army Corps has committed $75 million to completely replace the big gates on both Addicks and Barker dams. Work is just now beginning and will take up to four years to complete.

Austin would be in grave danger if even one of those goes

Yup. I'm in the Brazos River valley in central/SE Texas, and just north of me they're having bridges washed out, road closures, etc., and through this weekend we're set to have rain each day. This started two nights ago when the area received between 4 and 9 inches of rain overnight. Any more rainfall is going to cause runoff very quickly.

Because of high, fast-moving floodwaters, LCRA also has closed lakes Travis, Marble Falls, LBJ, Inks and Buchanan until further notice.

This is a serious flood; please take precautions to protect people and property. We encourage you to follow local news media and NOAA Weather Radio for updated information about changing weather conditions.

Stay safe out there in Texas, we know how it feels.

Oh my yes you do been following Luis on this

Pretty bad down south in this country, but probably not on the same scale as the Texans are getting, but even so, flooding of any kind ain't funny period.

I am central Tejas and I have a river right outside my door.

We ain't seen nothing yet , imagine the drama that would unfold from a years rainfall falling per day, and that's where we're heading . Europe is toast ,it had the past but it has no future .

Sorry this will rise fast please be ready to leave I worry about these old dams
