This is a prime example of why we say "turn around don't drown." It only takes 12" of fast moving water to sweep a car away.
Catastrophic flash flooding ongoing in Waco, TX.

Travis County Judge Andy Brown on Friday signed a disaster declaration for the threat of New World screwworm. There are no cases in Travis County yet, Brown said. "Our goal in Travis County is to keep it that way," he said. What should you do for a suspected screwworm case? And how can you tell a screwworm fly from a housefly? Here's what you need to know. statesman.com/news/healthcar…

A Red Flag Warning has been issued for Travis County on Saturday (2/21)! 🚩🔥 A wildfire can easily spark if burn ban rules aren’t followed, cigarettes are tossed on the ground, or tow chains are dragging. Do your part to protect our community!
Red Flag Warning issued across South-Central Texas Saturday (10 AM to 9 PM). Gusts to 30 mph and humidity as low as 10% create critical fire weather conditions. Humans cause most wildfires, so avoid open flames, secure tow chains, use grills on pavement, and obey burn bans! #txwx
