## Resource

Flash flooding slammed Central Texas, shutting down roads and forcing emergency crews into high-stakes water rescues—where even a few inches of water can swallow a vehicle. Firefighters are warning: never drive through flooded streets, no matter how sturdy your car. Hidden debris, drop-offs, and darkness make these rescues perilous and costly, straining already stretched emergency resources. Meanwhile, wet roads sent car crash numbers soaring—double the usual during morning commutes. Authorities urge everyone to stay home if possible, slow down, and avoid standing water. Thankfully, no injuries were reported so far, but with more rain on the way, safety remains the top priority. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
