Favorite Photo Friday: Flood


The City of Austin recently adopted new floodplain maps. The maps take effect September 26, 2008 and there are changes that affect our neighborhood. You can view an interactive map or download a PDF version. Let's hope we never see a crazy flood like the one in that 1915 photo above. Yikes!

Does anyone have any stories to share about what it was like in our neighborhood during that big flood in the 80s? I can't remember the exact year but I know several of our neighbors were living here then.
