10 years ago this weekend flooding occurred across South Central Texas, which included a catastrophic flood along the Blanco River. Fifteen people tragically lost their lives due to flooding that fateful Memorial Day weekend. The storms would also go on to produce 17 tornadoes.

It's Day 2 of Flood Awareness Week and today’s topic is the hazards of driving or walking through flood waters. We will keep this brief… 🚫Don’t risk it. You never know how deep the water is or if the road has been washed away. #TurnAroundDontDrown #dfwwx #ctxwx #txwx
