The Shoal Creek water rose to 21 feet during the Memorial Day flood.

On Lamar, familiar businesses like Whole Earth Provision Co. were hit hard.

"Probably about 4 feet in the entire store.  So it's over 10,000 square feet of 4 feet of water, it was devastating," said Whole Earth's Holland Jones.

And House Park Stadium, an Austin staple since 1939, was in no shape for football.
