It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring

No, it's not actually raining right this very minute. And in fact, since we got back from our honeymoon, it's only rained (on me) in the middle of the night or here-and-there driving around town. But, yes, Austin and the surrounding areas are in a flood predicament. It apparently rained every day while we were gone, and just the other night, Marble Falls got 18" in just 6 hours. Many thanks to those of you who have inquired about our safety - rest assured we are fine and in no foreseeable danger.

Back in March when my mom was visiting, we went out on the lake. It was at least 20ft below normal and there were islands everywhere. Take a look at how things now stand (compliments of the LCRA website).
