The Sabine River has risen to more than 32 feet at Deweyville, Texas, breaking the unofficial highest gage set over 130 years ago and completely isolating the small Newton County town of about 1,200.

Mandatory evacuations have been ordered in Deweyville after a week of storms have pushed the nearby Sabine River over historic flood levels as of Monday afternoon.

By Sunday morning, water crept into town by about two blocks, storm chaser Erik Fox told weather.com.

According to Fox, the police station is expected to be entirely submerged Monday.

Man, I don't know what's up with this weather down here in the south lately. It's like they're trying to wash TX and LA off of the map. And to think, hurricane season will be here soon. UGH!

Guess I'd better invest in a pair of water wings for me and the pooches LOL.
