Flooding leads to evacuations in Williamson County · Austin Signal

0:08
No doubt you or someone you know
0:10
uttered the phrase, we needed this
0:12
rain over the last few days, but up
0:14
in Williamson County, the rain was
0:15
enough to cause some flash flooding
0:17
and warrant some evacuations.
0:19
We're gonna hear from some of the
0:20
residents impacted by the floods and
0:22
how it differed from last summer's
0:24
flooding. And a central Austin
0:25
building that was home for decades
0:26
to a Sears has new life as a
0:28
one-stop shop.
0:30
But instead of lawn mowers and
0:31
washing machines, folks can now have
0:33
many of their health needs met.
0:35
More about that transformation
0:36
coming up on today's show.
0:38
The Austin Signal is a production
0:40
of KUT News, hosted by
0:42
Jerry Quijano.
0:43
Plus, an Austin author's new book is
0:45
all about a midlife reinvention.
0:48
Okay, okay, more like middle school
0:49
reinvention, but hey, those feelings
0:51
are still real.
0:53
Those stories and a whole lot more,
0:55
up next, here on Austin Signal.
1:07
Howdy out there, you are listening
1:09
to Austin Signal here on
1:11
community powered public radio.
1:13
This is KUT News, I'm your
1:15
host, Jerry Gechannel.
1:17
It is Wednesday, April 22nd,
1:19
and it seems like most of the rain
1:21
that's been sticking around the area
1:22
for the past few days is finally
1:24
moving past us.
1:26
Meteorologist Avery Tomasko says
1:27
more than 4 inches of rain have
1:29
fallen in Austin this month, making
1:31
it the rainiest April since 2019.
1:34
Up in Williamson County, residents
1:36
of three separate mobile home parks
1:38
are settling in after being
1:39
evacuated from their homes Tuesday
1:41
because of flash flooding.
1:44
These are the same RV parks that
1:45
were heavily damaged during last
1:46
July's deadly storms.
1:48
As KUT's Kaylee Hunt reports,
1:50
neighbors say they were better
1:51
prepared this time around.
1:53
Elizabeth Tamez and her husband have
1:55
lived at the Shady River RV Park
1:57
along the San Gabriel River in
1:59
Georgetown for five years.
2:01
She expected Tuesday to be like any
2:03
other rainy day.
2:05
But then the rain didn't stop for
2:07
hours and hours.
2:09
Tamezz had just returned home from a
2:10
doctor's appointment when a
2:12
sheriff's deputy from Williamson
2:13
County approached her and told her
2:15
she needed to prepare to leave the
2:16
RV park. The San Gabriel
2:18
was rising and fast.
2:21
Tamez says she immediately began to
2:23
prepare to evacuate.
2:24
We talked as she carefully stacked
2:26
planters of flowers on top of each
2:28
other underneath a pop-up canopy.
2:30
She hoped to use them as a sort of
2:32
protective barrier for other
2:34
belongings.
2:34
I love my plants.
2:36
I love them.
2:38
So unfortunately, I'm using them
2:40
just to protect my other
2:42
value items.
2:44
So we'll see.
2:46
Maybe it's not gonna be major
2:48
this time, but
2:50
you never know.
2:50
It's better to be safe.
2:51
Then sorry." Tamez
2:53
says she and her husband were out of
2:55
town when the RV park flooded during
2:57
last July's deadly storms.
2:59
They had lost many of their
3:00
belongings, including three
3:02
vehicles.
3:03
But like many residents, they
3:04
decided to return to the park after
3:06
it was cleaned up.
3:08
This is a beautiful place to live,
3:09
it's beautiful, it is
3:11
a gorgeous neighborhood.
3:13
We feel safe,
3:14
safe, love, I mean we are
3:16
a community, it isn't another place
3:18
you live.
3:19
We are family here.
3:21
Shauna Thayer and her teenage
3:23
daughter also returned to the Shady
3:25
River RV Park on Tuesday after
3:27
hearing about the evacuation.
3:29
The pair lives a couple miles down
3:30
the road, and they were here after
3:32
last year's summer storms to help
3:34
with cleanup and recovery.
3:36
Thayer says compared to last July,
3:38
Tuesday's evacuation was a bit more difficult.
3:39
Was quote so much more efficient.
3:41
I think this time everyone knew to
3:42
take it seriously.
3:44
Law enforcement and county services
3:45
showed up incredibly quickly and
3:47
have been really efficient.
3:49
Thayer says most residents
3:50
voluntarily chose to evacuate.
3:53
An incredible number of strangers
3:54
showed up to help people get to
3:55
safety.
3:56
It was so traumatic last year and
3:58
then so much went into recovery
4:00
and so many lives fell apart.
4:02
It was great to be able to get ahead
4:03
of it this time and to watch the
4:05
entire community take it seriously
4:07
and be so efficient in their
4:08
response.
4:09
Officials say in total, 20
4:11
families were evacuated from three
4:13
RV parks on Tuesday.
4:15
All of them were able to return to
4:17
their homes the same day.
4:19
I'm Kaylee Hunt in Williamson
4:20
County.
4:21
And Kaylee is joining us now here on
4:22
Austin Signal to tell us more about
4:24
the flooding that she saw yesterday.
4:26
Kaylee, thanks for your reporting
4:27
and thanks for being here.
4:28
Thanks for having me, Jerry.
4:29
So you were near the San Gabriel
4:30
River yesterday, near
4:32
one of those RV parks that was being
4:34
evacuated. Tell us a little bit
4:35
about what you saw out there.
4:36
Yeah, I mean, one of the first
4:38
things I did when I arrived at the
4:39
Shady River RV Park in Georgetown
4:41
was go and look at the river,
4:43
which is, it's about a few
4:45
hundred yards away from the actual
4:47
campers and homes.
4:49
And I can tell you that as someone
4:51
who grew up and lives currently
4:53
in the area, the water was
4:55
rushing a lot faster than normal
4:57
and it was a lot higher as well,
4:59
the water levels.
5:00
And it was even beginning to
5:02
slightly swell over the river bank
5:04
on the side where the RV park is
5:06
located.
5:07
And while I was out there, I
5:08
actually ran into one of the
5:10
residents, a gentleman, and he
5:12
told me that the last time he saw
5:13
the river that high was during last
5:15
July's deadly storms, the one that
5:17
heavily damaged their park.
5:19
And so he told him he
5:21
immediately gathered his stuff
5:23
and moved out, moved him to higher
5:25
ground after hearing about the flash
5:27
flood warning.
5:27
Yeah, and a flash flood warning is
5:29
going to get anybody amped up, I
5:30
would imagine.
5:32
Where were they at, generally,
5:34
and just their levels of rushing
5:36
or their levels of anxiety
5:38
yesterday, what could you sense from
5:39
the residents who were there?
5:41
Yeah, I think there was quite a
5:43
bit of anxiety,
5:45
a lot of urgency,
5:48
I would say. That's how I would
5:49
describe it. Everybody was
5:51
just moving with a very
5:53
big sense of urgency because, you
5:55
know, a lot these folks returned to
5:57
the RV park after having lost
5:59
their homes and belongings last
6:01
summer. And so,
6:04
they were very anxious and
6:06
very much ready
6:08
to get their stuff.
6:10
Out of the danger zone in time.
6:11
Yeah, and evacuations were ordered
6:13
at those three RV parks.
6:15
What does that actually look like
6:17
whenever evacuations
6:19
are being required of these RV
6:21
parks?
6:22
Yeah, well, the first thing you
6:23
notice is there's going to be like a
6:25
big law enforcement presence.
6:27
You know, I was thinking back to
6:29
last summer when I tried to drive
6:30
down there, the roads were actually
6:31
blocked off.
6:32
That's how fast the water was
6:34
moving.
6:35
This time around I was able to
6:36
actually get into the RV park.
6:38
There were sheriff's deputies and
6:41
folks from the constable's office
6:43
going around to each of the
6:44
residents, knocking on doors,
6:47
telling folks, you know, hey, you
6:48
don't have to leave, but...
6:50
Be prepared, the water's rising,
6:53
might wanna start moving your things
6:54
out.
6:56
And yeah, so just busy, you know,
6:58
that's how I would describe it.
7:00
Yeah, you were out there along with
7:01
KUT videographer Michael Manassi.
7:03
In the video they all shared that we
7:05
saw some water rescue teams.
7:06
Were those actually employed or was
7:08
that just a precautionary measure?
7:10
Yeah, that's right.
7:11
We were able to video those just as
7:13
they arrived.
7:15
Yeah, officials confirmed that those
7:16
teams were basically only stationed
7:17
there as a precaution.
7:19
So yeah, luckily no water rescues
7:21
were needed yesterday.
7:22
We heard from a few folks who were
7:23
affected by the evacuations in your
7:25
story, what else did you hear from
7:26
the residents while you were out
7:27
there?
7:29
Gosh.
7:30
Well, you know, one of the things
7:31
that struck me was just how
7:34
people just talked
7:36
about how lovely that place is
7:38
to live.
7:39
You know, they acknowledged that
7:41
some people would probably question
7:42
why they keep coming back to
7:45
that space, knowing that it's in
7:47
a flood zone and has this
7:48
history and, you, know,
7:51
the lady Elizabeth Tamez that, you
7:53
heard in the story.
7:55
You know, she, she they lost like
7:57
three vehicles last summer.
8:00
So, um, but yeah, she says it's her
8:02
home. It's a community.
8:03
Yeah, you could hear the passion in
8:04
her voice that she wanted to stay no
8:06
matter what.
8:07
Okay, we're gonna have a link to
8:08
Kaylee's reporting in today's show
8:10
notes. Before you get out of here,
8:11
though, Kaylee, you are the
8:13
Williamson County reporter for KUT.
8:15
I know you have been doing some
8:15
reporting on a data center that was
8:17
planned for Hutto residents asked
8:19
the city to rezone the land and
8:21
they pulled that request.
8:22
Can you give us an update on what's
8:23
happening there?
8:24
Yeah, so that project has
8:27
effectively ended as
8:29
of them withdrawing
8:31
their application.
8:32
The company called Zydeco
8:34
Development, they're based here in
8:35
Austin.
8:36
They wanted to rezone this
8:38
piece of land to allow for heavy
8:40
industrial development.
8:42
Right now, it's zoned with the
8:44
city as multi-family residential.
8:47
And so, yeah, several community
8:48
members opposed that request,
8:51
raising concerns about noise,
8:52
impacts on the local power grid.
8:54
And the possible long-term risks of
8:56
what they
8:58
think having a data center would
9:00
have on their homes.
9:02
And so, yeah, they were actually in
9:03
the process of filing a formal
9:05
protest against the company
9:07
when they withdrew their rezoning
9:09
request last week.
9:10
I have reached out to Zydeco
9:12
just to get a sense from their
9:14
side of things about why they
9:15
withdrued their application and have
9:17
not heard back yet.
9:18
Okay, we'll have links to both of
9:20
those stories at KUT.org,
9:23
and you can find more from us at
9:25
Kut.org.
9:26
Kaley, thanks for your reporting,
9:28
thank you for your time.
9:33
A long-time Austinites will remember
9:35
that for decades, a Sears department
9:37
store stood as the
9:38
centerpiece of the Hancock Center at
9:40
41st and Red River streets.
9:42
It stood vacant since 2019, but this
9:44
week the building is reopening its
9:46
doors, this time as a community
9:47
health care hub for low-income
9:49
residents.
9:50
Central Health, Travis County's
9:51
local public health district, will
9:53
begin offering its phase of
9:55
services at the center starting this
9:57
Friday.
9:58
KUT's health care reporter Olivia
9:59
Aldridge is here to tell us more.
10:01
Howdy Olivia.
10:03
So tell us a little bit about
10:04
this facility, what sort of services
10:06
is it providing, and to whom?
10:09
This will be the new flagship
10:10
location for Central Health, which
10:12
is the public hospital district in
10:14
Travis County.
10:15
That's an organization that's
10:16
responsible for providing healthcare
10:18
to low-income residents here.
10:20
It's by far Central Health's biggest
10:22
location, and it's going to kind of
10:24
become this major hub for them.
10:26
So the first floor of this building,
10:28
this 200,000 square foot building,
10:30
there's clinical space.
10:32
That's where folks will be able to
10:33
get primary care, certain kinds of
10:35
specialty care.
10:37
Even dentistry and pharmacy
10:38
services, and then later on the
10:40
second floor is also going to be the
10:42
main administrative building for
10:43
Central Health and two of its
10:45
partner organizations.
10:46
So this is going to be kind of a
10:48
one-stop shop for lots of different
10:49
things. This was, as I said,
10:52
a former Sears. Tell us a little bit
10:53
about the organizations that are
10:54
going to part of this facility
10:56
moving forward in the future.
10:57
Yeah, so Central Health, Community
10:59
Care, and then Sendero Health Plans,
11:01
which is Central Health's insurance
11:03
affiliate that offers health plans
11:04
on the Affordable Care Act
11:06
Marketplace.
11:07
At the opening celebration, um,
11:09
Travis County Commissioner, Brigid
11:10
Shea was like, you know, it's
11:11
fitting that this used to be a Sears
11:13
store because this is now sort of a
11:14
one-stop shop for, as you said,
11:17
for not shopping, but care.
11:18
Um And
11:20
Central Health CEO Pat Lee talked a
11:22
lot about the value of having these
11:23
three partners in the same space,
11:25
Community Care, by the way, being
11:27
kind of the clinical partner.
11:28
Because if you're using the services
11:30
from one, then you're likely to be
11:32
getting services from all three.
11:33
It's also significant in another
11:35
way, because over the past couple
11:37
of years, there's been a lot of
11:38
friction between Central Health and
11:40
Community Care about their
11:42
leadership structure and what their
11:44
relationship would be.
11:46
With this opening, they're kind of
11:48
presenting a unified front and
11:49
saying we're here as part of a
11:51
shared effort to serve the lower
11:53
income population that we're charged
11:54
with.
11:56
Yeah, that's some of the
11:58
things you've been reporting on for
11:59
a while, some of the things that we've
12:00
talked about here on Austin Signal.
12:01
And this project has been something
12:02
you've been reporting for a bit
12:04
now.
12:05
So you mentioned this first round or
12:07
this first phase of services is set
12:08
to begin Friday.
12:10
What is the timeline for expanded
12:11
services at this new facility?
12:13
Yep, so on Friday, we'll see the
12:15
new location for the David Powell
12:17
Clinic run by Community Care
12:18
opening.
12:19
That's a clinic that provides
12:21
treatment for HIV.
12:24
The pharmacy services and lab
12:25
services will also open everything
12:27
else from primary care to secondary
12:29
care to all that administrative
12:31
stuff.
12:32
Dentistry should be coming sometime
12:34
in 2027.
12:36
All right, we have been speaking
12:37
with Olivia Aldridge.
12:39
She is KUT's healthcare reporter and
12:41
we'll have a link to her reporting
12:42
in today's podcast, Show Notes.
12:44
Olivia, thank you.
12:58
This is Austin Signal.
13:00
Thank you for making us part of your
13:02
Wednesday.
13:02
We've got more for you coming up
13:04
after a break, but before we
13:06
let you go, just wanted to remind
13:08
you that we are a bit more than
13:10
a week away from the first ever
13:11
KUT Fest.
13:13
Plenty of the KUT voices that you've
13:15
heard here on Austin Signal, just
13:16
like Olivia Aldridge, are gonna be
13:18
out at the Fest hosting some panels.
13:20
And just hanging around with the
13:22
community. This is our first ever
13:24
fest. I don't know if I mentioned
13:25
that. So we're trying to do it up
13:27
big. We have Aaron Franklin, lots of
13:29
great folks from the community, KUT
13:31
for Kids.
13:32
So much to check out.
13:33
You can find out more at
13:35
kut.org.
13:37
Again, that's happening next Friday
13:38
and Saturday.
13:39
So include us in your plans and
13:41
we'll see you out there.
13:43
This is Austin Signal.
13:44
We'll be back after a moment.
13:59
Welcome back.
14:00
This is Austin Signal.
14:02
Before she moved from Austin to
14:04
Rhode Island, everybody knew Lacey
14:06
as one half of an inseparable
14:08
duo with her best friend Grace.
14:10
Lacey is ready to reinvent herself
14:11
at her new school, but middle school
14:13
never works out exactly as you
14:15
plan it. Ain't that the truth?
14:17
This is the plot of the new middle
14:19
school novel When You're Brave
14:21
Enough by Austin author Rebecca
14:22
Benheim.
14:23
The Texas Standards' Laura Rice
14:25
spoke with her about the new novel.
14:27
Middle school can be
14:29
the worst,
14:31
but I'm curious what drew you to
14:33
tell a middle grade story
14:35
specifically.
14:36
First of all, I really loved the
14:38
middle school age before I left to
14:40
write full-time.
14:41
I actually taught sixth grade
14:43
English for years and I really miss
14:45
it. But the reason that I decided
14:47
to write a queer middle grade novel
14:49
specifically is that I had my first
14:51
crushes on girls when I was
14:53
around early middle school.
14:55
And that's also the time that I
14:57
first learned what the word lesbian
14:58
meant because this girl in
15:00
my school spread this rumor
15:02
about these girls who were lesbians
15:04
and I asked what that meant.
15:06
And she said, they worship the devil
15:08
and I should steer clear from them
15:10
as a new student because they
15:12
might corrupt me.
15:13
And I didn't actually end up
15:15
coming out until I was 20.
15:17
So I realized that this was
15:19
actually a really normal experience.
15:22
Studies show that people,
15:24
queer kids and teens usually realize
15:25
they're queer or trans by the
15:27
start of early adolescence.
15:28
And they usually are also hearing
15:31
a lot of negative messaging about
15:33
being LGBTQ plus.
15:36
So I think about this time in my
15:37
life a lot, I think of my queer
15:39
students, and I really wanted to
15:40
write a story where a girl
15:42
has a crush on her best friend and
15:44
it's not this worst nightmare,
15:46
hide this forever situation, it
15:49
becomes this beautiful first
15:51
chance at love.
15:53
Well, you love middle
15:55
schoolers as a teacher.
15:56
Did you love that experience as
15:58
a young teen yourself though?
16:00
That sounds like that was probably
16:01
really hard.
16:03
Yeah, it definitely was hard.
16:05
It just, it was a lot of being in
16:07
my head and just being,
16:09
I guess, worried that people could
16:11
see through me.
16:13
Well, your character Lacey is in the
16:15
school musical, worried about her
16:17
first kiss.
16:18
Were you a theater kid growing up
16:20
or what drew you to that part of the
16:21
story?
16:22
Yes. I was obsessed with musical
16:24
theater growing up and I was
16:25
terrible at it.
16:26
So one thing I really wanted to
16:28
do is have a
16:30
character who gets the lead role
16:31
because I always wondered what that
16:33
would feel like.
16:34
But I also based
16:36
it off of the play or I
16:38
had the musical Bye Bye Birdie
16:40
in the book because I
16:42
was in Bye Bye birdie in fourth
16:43
grade and then I was Bye Bye Birdie
16:45
again in eighth grade.
16:47
And when I was in it in
16:48
eighth-grade, the
16:51
couple, Rosie and Albert,
16:53
kissed in the final performance.
16:55
And I was terrified
16:57
thinking, what if I, when I'm an
16:58
eighth grader, have to do that and I
17:00
don't like the person who's my
17:02
co-lead?
17:03
And so that fear stayed with me and
17:05
I gave it to Lacey.
17:08
You know, we always love to talk
17:09
about Texas connections in
17:11
books.
17:12
Lacey makes sort of the opposite
17:14
move that you did from Austin
17:16
to the East Coast.
17:17
You came from the East coast to
17:19
Austin.
17:20
I'm curious how Texas peeks through
17:22
in your narrative.
17:24
Yes, I really love the
17:26
Texas scenes in this book.
17:29
So Lacey, when she moves,
17:30
she's so excited to be in Rhode
17:32
Island, to start over, to
17:34
not be known as this super
17:36
eager, strange girl, Grace's friend.
17:39
But then her memories from
17:41
Texas come back to her with this
17:43
dreamlike quality.
17:44
There's a scene where they're at
17:46
the South Congress Bridge watching
17:48
the bats, and there's another scene
17:49
in Barton Springs where they are
17:51
playing a game and they're
17:52
pretending.
17:53
To drown and then save each other,
17:55
but then she starts actually getting
17:57
scared and Grace is the
17:58
only one who can tell it's for real
18:00
and helps her breathe through that.
18:02
So she's slowly realizing that
18:04
her feelings for Grace are more
18:06
complicated than she thought through
18:08
these memories of being in Texas.
18:11
What do you hope that readers of
18:13
all ages get out of your book if
18:15
they pick it up?
18:17
That's a great question.
18:19
I feel like I have different hopes
18:21
for different readers.
18:23
My biggest dream for this book is
18:25
that it gets into the hands of
18:27
queer kids and teens who need
18:29
to see someone like them
18:31
having a happy ending and not
18:33
just in 20 years
18:35
but right there in middle school.
18:38
But I also hope other people read
18:39
this book. I hope other kids
18:41
and teams read it and
18:43
kind of
18:47
peers might be dealing with,
18:49
thinking about what their futures
18:51
could look like, and,
18:53
you know, that them being
18:55
queer or trans is not this
18:57
inhibiting, negative, hard
18:59
thing. It can also be this beautiful
19:01
thing that opens them up to
19:03
a more authentic life, a more
19:05
creative way of living,
19:07
and a lot of happiness and love.
19:09
And then I also hope adults read
19:11
this book. Um,
19:13
there are a lot of misconceptions
19:15
about queer kids right now
19:16
and I just would
19:18
love adults to read this and
19:20
be reminded that these
19:22
are just kids, just like any other
19:24
kid who are trying to
19:26
figure out how to make their way in
19:28
the world.
19:29
And you know, sometimes making
19:31
mistakes, sometimes changing their
19:33
mind, but that they deserve
19:34
all the support and agency
19:36
and love and
19:39
patience that you would give any
19:41
kid.
19:42
Well, I think that that gets to a
19:44
question I was gonna struggle
19:46
to ask, which is about how
19:48
Texas has been not
19:50
always so receptive of
19:53
books like this about
19:55
queer kids or for queer kids,
19:57
right? I mean, there's the debate
19:58
over what is available in
20:00
school libraries.
20:02
What are your thoughts as this brand
20:03
new book of yours that you've poured
20:05
your heart into is might face
20:07
that sort of controversy?
20:10
This is, it's really hard for me to
20:12
think about, because I really,
20:14
like I said, my biggest dream is to
20:15
get into the hands of actual
20:17
queer kids and teens.
20:19
And it is already getting
20:21
some backlash.
20:24
I have been, you know, posting about
20:25
it online as a debut author does.
20:27
And I've gotten a lot
20:29
of really negative messages from
20:31
people hoping to ban it in the
20:33
future. I hope that doesn't happen.
20:34
I hope they forget about it.
20:36
But my thoughts
20:37
are that I just
20:40
wish that the people doing this
20:41
would read these books and not just
20:43
mine, other amazing queer middle
20:45
grades like the Queen B's of Tybee
20:47
County, which is about a
20:49
southern basketball star
20:51
seventh grade boy who ends
20:53
up moving to or
20:55
going to his grandma's for the
20:56
summer and then learning drag
20:58
and doing drag for the first time.
21:00
Like these, I just want them to
21:02
read these book and understand that
21:04
this isn't about something
21:06
that corrupt kids.
21:08
These are not books about sex.
21:10
These are books about kids being
21:12
kids and kids figuring out who they
21:13
are. And there is nothing negative
21:16
or inappropriate about
21:19
these books.
21:20
And I'm really trying to do all
21:22
I can to fight this.
21:23
I recently testified at the State
21:24
Board of Education meeting.
21:26
There's another meeting coming up
21:27
that I'm hoping to go to to
21:29
just hopefully
21:32
let our lawmakers know
21:33
that most Texans
21:36
want kids to be able to read any
21:38
age appropriate book that publishers
21:39
say are for their age range
21:41
and that there's nothing dangerous
21:43
about these books. It's actually
21:45
dangerous to censor them and
21:47
give kids the message that they
21:49
don't belong and that who they are
21:51
is not okay. That's what causes
21:53
mental health struggles in
21:54
these queer kids and teens.
21:57
That was the voice of Austin-based
21:58
author Rebecca Benheim speaking to
22:00
Texas Standard's Laura Rice
22:02
about Benheim's new novel,
22:04
When You're Brave Enough, which is
22:06
out now.
