Title: T.S. Hermine in North Texas. One Year Later...
Post by: texasstooge on November 21, 2011, 10:11:11 PM
I figure I'd pass along this news story I got on my Facebook homepage from WFAA-TV. The Condominiums in Arlington, which were flooded by Tropical Storm Hermine back in September 2010, are being demolished to make way for a new park.

Flood prone condominiums to become part of new Arlington park ([url]http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Flood-prone-condominums-to-become-part-of-Arlington-Park-134269563.html[/url])

The first of fourteen complexes were torn down Monday in Arlington at the former site of the Willows Condominiums.

The homes were flooded back in September 2010 when a tropical storm swept through the area.

The city of Arlington purchased the damaged condos earlier this year, along with 49 other flood-prone homes around Rush Creek. The plan is to turn the development into a new park.
