Lake Buchanan, built to help prevent floods in Central Texas Central Texas – The Flash Flood Capital of the State - The Floods of 1957, 1981, and 1998 1957 - The Longest Drought In Texas History Ends With Massive Floods - Central Texas Flood (Hill Country) Texas climate changes can often be considered extreme. The State is so large that one portion of it can suffer from flooding rains to extreme drought. In fact, parts of Texas are currently experiencing a drought, (as is most of the Western United States, but this book is about Texas, so…) The worst drought in Texas history was the 1950s drought, lasting from 1949 to 1957, and is considered the state's "drought of record". It was caused by prolonged periods of little to no rainfall, and as a result there was extensive agricultural losses, dried-up water resources, destructive weather event (tornadoes, windstorms, but no rain), and played a significant role in how the economic structure of the state began to shift away from the rural communities to its current model of mostly urban. The environmental effects of the drought definitely laid the foundation for the devastation that was to follow during the flood.  Rivers and creeks dried up, reservoirs emptied, and the landscape was severely impacted. One interesting side effect was there were occasions when the State experienced destructive hail and multiple tornadoes. When the drought broke, it broke in a big way. They called it  "The Day of the Big Cloud". The drought officially ended with a significant rain event on April 24, 1957, which brought 10 inches of rain within a few hours and marked "The Day of the Big Cloud". But that wasn't the only water that fell from the sky. In Lampasas, on May 12th, on Mother's Day heavy rainfall overwhelmed Lampasas, particularly its Sulphur Creek watershed, breaching levees and sending a surge of floodwaters through the heart of town. The flood inundated 68 downtown blocks: destroying 38 homes and five businesses, severely damaging 46 houses and 47 businesses and affecting about 90% of the downtown area. Total damages were estimated at $4.5 million  Worse than the economic losses, five residents lost their lives during the Lampasas flood  The event proved a turning point for the town; afterward, officials implemented new and substantial flood-control measures which have come in handy even in today's world. The massive amount of rainfall turned Hill Country creeks into torrents of raging water that swept through Llano, Burnet, and Lampasas counties with a fury born of years of pent-up skies. Dozens perished as flash floods tore through towns and carried homes away like driftwood. The flood was both a tragedy and an ending. While the flood broke the back of the 1950s drought, but at a terrible human cost. Almost 25 years later Central Texas would once again see heavy flooding, this time in Austin. 1981 Austin Flood (Shoal Creek & Onion Creek) It was a summer storm that seemed ordinary at first, but by the night of May 24, 1981, Memorial Day Weekend, Austin was drowning. Shoal Creek is the largest of Austin's north urban watersheds, encompassing approximately 8,000 acres (12.9 square miles). About 27% of the watershed is over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.[1] Its length is approximately 11 miles. It runs parallel to and between Waller Creek to its east and Johnson Creek to its west. According to the National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service, on May 24,1981 Shoal Creek reached its record highest crest ever recorded at 23.11 feet. This record crest led to the deaths of 13 people and $36 million in damages. Shoal Creek burst its banks, turning streets into rivers that carried cars away like driftwood. Downtown stores filled with water, entire blocks of North Lamar were gutted, and homes along Onion Creek were swallowed in the flash floods. Thirteen people lost their lives that night, caught in the sudden,

Uvalde updates: The Robb Elementary School building, where last month's mass shooting occurred, is set to be demolished. School district police chief Pete Arredondo has been placed on leave from those duties by Uvalde CISD administrators. Texas State Senator Roland Gutierrez has filed suit against the Texas Department of Public Safety, demanding that they hand over all records and information related to the shooting. And Texas Senate hearings on the crime at the Capitol that have been ongoing all this week have included very little discussion of guns. Speaking of guns - earlier this week, a man tried to enter the 7-11 store at Ben White and South 1st with an AR-15 rifle after the clerk declined to give him free gas. He's charged with first-degree felony aggravated robbery. And, another man was arrested Sunday after firing rounds at people near Zilker Park and threatening a mass shooting at a weekly Sunday drum circle there. Median home prices inside the Austin city limits have hit another all-time new high: $667,000 on average as of May, a 21% year-to-year jump - we're now considered the second-most overpriced market in the U.S. Historic Ski Shores Cafe on Lake Austin has re-opened after a remodel by new owners McGuire Moorman Lambert, while the equally historic original Threadgill's site on North Lamar will see a 100-unit apartment building go up behind the restaurant structure, which will be preserved as part of the project after a request to tear it down was denied by the city.

On the cusp of a potentially record-breaking early-June heat wave, local health officials are warning residents to prepare and manage their exposure to high temperatures. The Austin American-Statesman has published a long and harrowing analysis of the potential climate disaster waiting ahead. As new Omicron subvariants are detected in Travis County and COVID positivity rates continue to climb, Austin Public Health is strongly encouraging Austinites to get up to date on booster shots. Round Rock's first-ever Pride Festival over the weekend was a resounding success. Austin is ill-prepared to coordinate with a statewide push by the Texas Department of Transportation to crack down on speeders, as APD continues suffering staffing shortages in its traffic enforcement units. Austin's oldest grocery store, Avenue B Grocery, has finally reopened after a long COVID shutdown - they'll be open Thursday thru Monday from 10am to 7pm. And, Provision Dining House has made its COVID comeback as well, reopening in The Triangle. This week's Austin Chronicle features a survey of design challenges facing the upcoming Project Connect transit effort and the impact they may have on surrounding neighborhoods, including Downtown, South Congress, Lady Bird Lake, the UT area, Riverside and Pleasant Valley, Crestview and North Lamar. The annual HousingWorks Austin report reveals major increases in housing costs and disparities in housing availability between different sections of the city. The Starbucks location at 45th and Lamar has become the first in Texas to unionize, making the Lone Star State the 27th with Starbucks Workers United unions. Texas Longhorns Baseball wins out over Air Force, Louisiana Tech and Dallas Baptist over the weekend at Disch Falk Field, in full domination of the Austin Regional - they now progress to the super-regional round and will take on the winner of today's matchup between East Carolina and Coastal Carolina later this week. And, Austin tops another national list, but this one's not very prestigious: Austinites leave their belongings behind in Uber cars more than riders in any other U.S. city.

No mobile home park in history has generated as much undeserved negative publicity as North Lamar in Austin, Texas. Nothing we did was good enough for the Austin media. We saved the park from the wrecking ball. We brought the park back to life with new streets, entrance and lot-by-lot TLC. We made its ongoing operation possible by raising rents and fixing resident abuse of water and sewer. Finally, we allowed the residents to buy the park from us and gave them a huge amount of time to put the deal together with the non-profit group ROC. But even after selling it we are still hounded by the Austin media who can’t get over the fact that a capitalist approach succeeded where the city failed and that our business model was so well structured that they could not mess it up despite their endless efforts.
