There's flooding down in Texas

Even by Texas-sized standards, this is a lot of water: It now looks like parts of central Texas could get more than 2 feet of rainfall before week's end, as major flooding reaches historic proportions in some areas.

The Austin American-Statesman is providing continuous coverage of events, including a breaking news blog, reader photos and information about the multitude of water rescues.

The central Texas flooding is part of a larger swath of heavy rain that is stretching up into Oklahoma. There's also coverage in the Dallas Morning News, the Houston Chronicle and NewsOK.com, a combined site for Oklahoma City's newspaper and one of its television stations. You can see video at Austin television stations KTBC and News 8 Austin, among other sites.
