The city needs to restore Shoal Creek, what I mean by that is it's one thing to build up walls but if there is no way for the water to slow down, it just washes everything away. They need to restore native riparian flora not just along the sides of the creek, but the creek bed itself. That will go a long way in helping to slow the water flow down and will also help to keep water in the creek longer. It needs to be done throughout the Shoal Creek watershed and neighborhood's where the creek flows through need to be educated as well.
It was an average rainfall which should not cause that kind of flow. It's the result of poor urban runoff planning along with loss of native riparian flora.
