After obliterating our May rainfall record (which was 13.66" in 1982, and now 16.07"), we have had major flooding all around the DFW area. We are

Pictures here The first one is Loop 12 southbound at Interstate 30. I cannot identify all of them.

The ten wettest May's in Dallas

To put the amount of rain that the entire state of Texas has seen, we could cover the entire state with 8" of water, and Texas is not a small state! Story here

The part of the metro area I am in hasn't been as affected as other parts. Officially at DFW Airport, this May has moved to near 17" of rain this month. Some lakes are within a foot of record levels. Lake Texoma, about an hour north of here, has set a new record height.

Sue, this is the worst I've seen in the almost 19 years I have lived here.
