"Flash Flood Alley" PBS Movie
This one-hour movie follows the lives of five families who rebuild after the great Central Texas flood of 1998. The story unfolds to show how the rapidly growing Central Texas corridor is the most flash-flood prone area in North America yet few residents know of the dangers or how to prepare. We see the characters' fate in a massive repeat flood in 2002. This is the first part of a made-for-PBS series entitled: "The Water's Edge." It is scheduled to air on Texas PBS affiliates in Spring of 2005.
"Flash Flood Alley" will be airing on Texas PBS affiliates in Spring of 2005.
