Creek behind our house

So I wrote about it. It's usually mild and timid except all the imagined things in it. But today it's a raging beast. We hope it doesn't crest though we have several hours left.

This is a feeder creek into Shoal Creek. This is a few hours ago. Shoal Creek just crested a few blocks from here. Shit.

Gee willikers! Have been watching the Austin news, looks like this will rival the 1981 flood.

I think you'll be okay as long as it stops raining...it'd have to rise another 6-7 feet to get to you. She says, confidently.

Are the dogs freaking out?

I take it back, I'm watching the KXAN live feed and Shoal Creek is rising like crazy. Do you guys need to get out of there?

BE SAFE.

Thanks. We are okay. Dogs are okay. I'm glad we cancelled our weekend away.

I hope the water stays out of your house.

Thanks. My husband dug holes under the fence and the water went down but all of my neighbors got it. We were lucky.
