>> I will never forget the house on the corner of Forest Cove Dr and Cypress Ln (I think) with water up to the roof. That was the only house I was actually able to see up close and personally that signified the devastation suffered by so many. I also remember hearing from a class mate, whose home ended up completely destroyed, about how they were finally able to return to their home only to find that a cow that had been swept away in the floods ended up knocking down one outer wall of the home and was resting in their living room all bloated and stinky.
@Maisey1: My parents almost bought that house just months before the flood happening. They still talk about it to this day and how happy they were they bought a house in Bear Branch instead. Did the city buy that property and that is why there wasn't anything ever rebuilt?
@XCPuff: I think the city bought a lot of it, as there are quite a few empty lots through that stretch. There are also quite a few homes, more on the upside of the hill. One of my friends lived in one of those Forest Cove apartments, and they lost their cars but got most of their stuff out (or were on the second floor).
