Texas is still reeling from the barrage of rain over Memorial Day weekend that flooded streets, destroyed at least 700 homes, tore down trees, and took at least 30 lives.

News from the flood can’t help but reminisce…
…of the Austin floods in late May 1981.
Meanwhile, residents of Wimberly, Houston, Austin and other affected cities took to twitter to share stories of their loss while others across the state and nation responded with empathy.
Our hearts go out to those affected by the storms and flash flooding across Texas <3
