Haltom City Is Cursed


I wish this picture was bigger. That house is going down sooner or later. What a nightmare. The nightmare that is Haltom City.

And did you guys catch the footage of the westbound lanes Loop 820 near Rufe Snow being shut down Tuesday evening due to flooding? Yep. Right by Haltom City.

Haltom City is fine. It's a tiny area that is along a creek in far north Haltom City, where people should not have built or bought in the first place, that is getting the flooding. I live a half mile from all this. In those areas, this same creek has flooded practically every year at least once for the past dozen years or so. Yet people still move in, buy, build, or otherwise just stay there with the unreasonable expectation that it will not happen again. Finally, now, some of the folks in the mobile home park (keyword is MOBILE) are starting to question why they continue to live on a mudbank. Gotta feel for these folks, but at some point they need to realize living next to an urban Texas creek is not the best situation. Vast majority of the flooding is contained in the floodplain and affecting only golf courses, baseball fields, parks and other floodplain-type uses.
