Texas Flood: Austin Gets Soaked, and No Statue is Spared

We got some serious rain a few days ago.  It was not a joke at all, as a lot of damage was done.  Nonetheless, one small bit of amusement that the storm begat was this photo that freelance photographer Reagan Hackleman took of the iconic Stevie Ray Vaughan statue at Auditorium Shores up to its waist (and last few frets) in water.  I wonder if Mr. Willie did any better?
