Arlington pd reported a high water Rescue - 3 children in Johnson Creek

That's not Babbling Brook Drive out there any more. That's Babbling Brook. The water has met in the middle.

And no, I'm NOT letting the kids go play in it - not with flash flood warnings and kids getting swept away and such.

Oh my Lord...I used to live in Irving in my middle- and high-school days (even still have my mini-diploma card from Nimitz High School). I had no idea flooding was happening in the Metroplex. (Oddly enough, our residence was on Boundbrook Lane; wonder if the brook is still bound?) And no, you shouldn't let the kids play in the water; there's snakes and all kindsa nasties in there, not to mention probably pollution of all sorts. Stay dry and keep us posted.
