(1,766 posts)Most of us who lived on the Northside knew one thing to be true:
If it's raining, or even hinting at it, stay off Dreamland Road.
The advice to stay away would apply to several roads in San Antonio (quite hilly on the North side so prone to flash floods), but it seemed like Dreamland was the one most likely to require an emergency rescue because it brought the meaning flash to flash flood more than just about any other street in town. It could become 8 feet deep in water at its low point in a matter of seconds, if it were raining hard enough.
Storm after storm, year after year, people just would not learn that you were taking your chances if you took Dreamland during the wrong conditions. I doubt that has changed.
I don't know why people think they won't be the ones who need the rescue, but, storm after storm, there they are. They can always make it to where they need to be, just hold my beer and watch.
