The article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram says "Fossil Creek" six times. It never specifies WHICH Fossil Creek, but you get the hint.
About 6:30 a.m., Haltom City shut down one side of the crossing over Fossil Creek, where Fred Napp, deputy fire chief and fire marshal, said high-water problems are common.
Even before they were finished there, the rescuers were called to another Fossil Creek crossing, Napp said.
“While we were there, we were dispatched to a second incident on Minnis Drive just south of Airport Freeway,” he said. “It was where Fossil Creek got out of its banks again. There were three vehicles involved.”
Napp said that Fossil Creek looked more like a river Wednesday morning.
“The channel got to between 40 and 50 feet deep where they’ve done some flood-control work,” he said. “It was all the way up to the rim of the channel and above where we were.”
Glenview Drive over Fossil Creek is the No. 1 spot for flooding in Haltom City, Napp said.
Lots of stuff under water in Haltom City, including gas drilling equipment in the park next to the 820 construction.
Seems like it has flooded there before......
