AUSTIN, TX - MAY 25: Parts of the city are shown inundated after days of heavy rain on May 25, 2015 in Austin, Texas. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott toured the damage zone where one person is confirmed dead and at least 12 others missing in flooding along the Rio Blanco, which reports say rose as much as 40 feet in places, caused by more than 10 inches of rain over a four-day period. The governor earlier declared a state of emergency in 24 Texas counties. (Photo by Drew Anthony Smith/Getty Images)
If you have been paying any attention to the news as of late you may have heard that California is in a severe drought and the lower plains states are experiencing severe flooding.
A newly proposed plan using sewage water is in the works to help Californians still irrigate their lawns and gardens. It is not winning people over, but the idea is not a new one. The Chicago Tribune has the story.
On the flip side, folks in Texas and Oklahoma have had more than their share of water in the last few weeks with lots of flash flooding. In some cases water has risen as much as 25 feet in an hour. We turn to CNN who has more details on the deaths and devastation in both states.
