4810 N Braeswood Blvd merits yet another deep sigh of regret.

I suppose a house can be flooded only so many times before it’s time to say adieu.
the thread that Big Tex posted has some pretty interesting comments on flooding from 10+ years ago.

“Allison was about the worst case scenario on flooding. From what I remember (which is always questionable) from when it was on the market before, was the amount of water it got in Allison was not very much. An inch maybe? I don’t think it got like a foot or anything significant like that. With the bayou improvements it could certainly reduce the likely hood of even that.”
