Does anybody remember the Shoal Creek flood from 1981? With 16th flooded at Lamar, it means the gates put in upstream may have failed.
Anyone in the Balcones/Bull Creek Road area near 34th better keep an eye outside.
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.
The flood of 1981? Yeah... I remember. We were camping at one of the lakes around Austin and had to bail out of there around 10 o'clock that night. Very scary.
My wife and I have had a lot more respect for moving water since then.
