1935

Waters having already receded north, the Congress bridge was at one point completely submerged

My dad was at UT then. He was with a group af buddies at a place in South Austin when the waitress said " you boys better get on home" the water was rising (aside: he shared an apt. with Hondo Crouch , later of Lukenbach )
