Another 'Halloween Flood' for Onion Creek area
AUSTIN, Texas-- From the air, it was an eerie sight: floodwater consuming roads and neighborhoods. But unfortunately it's a familiar sight. Onion Creek flooded nearly two years ago to the date.
"I didn't think it was going to come up this high again. Because they had taken out so many houses in the lower area, you know, closer to the creek so we thought 'ok that water has a place to pool now.' But it kept coming," said Theresa Vahaliak, a resident in the area.
Vahaliak spent her Friday afternoon waiting next to police tape wondering if her house was okay. It survived the 2013 flood.
