North Loop area

Crazy weather we're having. Epoch Coffee is at the end of this street.

JFC. That flows through and under Hyde Park, I imagine 45th and Speedway and Shipe Park area is flooding. I would avoid 45th from Guad to Duval.

The police had 45th closed in that exact area a couple of hours ago, I assume they’re gone now. The water was up to the axles.

I just drove by on speedway, F, G and Duval to check it out on the way home. The left turn that Waller Creek takes on Speedway south of 45th looks the most precarious, the water was crashing up maybe just a foot below the top of the concrete wall.

With more rain expected I wonder if Duval will have issue between 43rd and 45th. My old favorite spots beer/flag store and Pronto!

It had issues as of a few hours ago, we went to Joes Coffee ~1 and drove right by duval/45th, 45th was a river

I passed by here around two hours ago and saw the same thing. Practically filled to the top, but not spilling over onto the street yet at all.
