We begin with a developing story that’s had a real impact across Central Austin. Severe storms swept across the area, bringing flash flooding and large hail. Many Austinites experienced property damage, while first responders worked round the clock conducting water rescues and securing debris. City officials are urging everyone to remain cautious around low-water crossings, as more rain is expected through the weekend. Emergency services have also set up temporary shelters and support stations for residents affected by the storms, reflecting Austin’s trademark neighborliness and preparedness.
In city news, the Austin community is being invited to participate in a survey on the 2026 Bond proposal. This process lets residents weigh in on priorities ranging from infrastructure repairs to park improvements, and the survey is open through June 23. It’s one of the many ways Austin ensures that growth aligns with community voices, a throughline from our historic town hall traditions to today’s digital feedback loops. Meanwhile, the city announced expanded recycling options—Austinites can now include cartons and coated paper products in their bins, a small change with significant environmental benefits over time.
For today’s human interest spotlight, let’s swing by South Congress, where the family-owned Amy’s Ice Creams was recently recognized by the city for its decades-long commitment to hiring local youth and fostering creative community events. Amy Simmons, the founder, notes that she’s proud to see former scoopers now leading their own businesses around Austin, a testament to the city’s entrepreneurial spirit and emphasis on mentorship.
As for weather, keep those umbrellas handy. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are in the forecast through Sunday, with highs in the upper 80s and some muggy nights ahead. If you’re looking for a dry spot, the Blanton Museum’s summer exhibits are open, and the Barton Springs Pool is hosting evening swims all weekend. For families, the city’s free swim lessons at local pools are also available—just check the Parks and Recreation website for signups.
Austin is a city of big ideas and even bigger hearts, where classic stories of neighbors helping neighbors meet new challenges and innovation. Whether you’re voicing your thoughts on public projects, lending a hand after a storm, or simply enjoying a local scoop, you’re part of what makes Austin thrive.
