Summary
Central Texas is bracing for serious flooding as heavy rain dumps 2-5 inches since midnight, triggering a level two flood threat across most of the region. Authorities are already opening floodgates at Tom Miller and Bastrop Dams, and over 100 low-water crossings are closed—with one road in Milam County completely washed out. Emergency crews responded to at least one car stuck in floodwaters, reinforcing the deadly “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” message. Barton Springs Pool is closed until further notice. A Flood Watch remains in effect through Tuesday evening—stay alert and heed all warnings. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
