I certainly remember the severe floods along shoal creek when so many cars ended up in Town Lake afer being washed from the lots and car dealorships.

After the flood there was a great deal of money spent in widening and reinforcing shoal creek especially in north Austin.

If cars are floating around sixth to fifteenth st. they must have received several inches of rain. I lived there thirty years but now have retired and live in Tyler.

I remember they found the bones of one unfortunate in a storm drain months after the flood.

Interesting you live in Tyler. I was there only a couple of months ago. A lot of my kin live, and are buried there. I was baptized at what is now the Cathedral.
