You're on Texas Standard time. We're a production of KUT Austin, KERA North Texas, Texas Public Radio San Antonio & Houston Public Media.
What have you learned about flooding from living in Texas? Maybe it’s a lesson about turning around at high water, paying attention to warnings, helping a neighbor or understanding how quickly familiar roads and rivers can become dangerous. Go to buff.ly/fn7WDfm and record us a voice message.
Tell us about a natural moment you'll never forget. Maybe it was an unforgettable thunderstorm, a wildlife encounter, a hidden swimming hole, a sunset or a view so beautiful you had to pull over. Record us a voice message at texasstandard.org/talk to hear yourself on the Texas Standard.
