    Dallas Flood Problems

    Overnight torrential downpour leaves Dallas a flooded mess

    Teresa Gubbins
    May 29, 2015 | 8:30 am

    Following another soaking downpour, the city of Dallas is assisting in the response by multiple city departments to flooding that happened overnight in Dallas.

     

    According to a release from the city, its Emergency Operations Center is at a Level 3 monitoring status, and this morning's commute is slow in many areas due to high water and closed roadways. Commuters are advised to use extreme caution when traveling and turn around when in doubt.

     

    In the overnight hours, both the Dallas Police Department and Dallas Fire-Rescue conducted numerous rescues of stranded motorists. There were no casualties, and there is no major damage to property. A field command post was established to coordinate water rescue response but has been deactivated as of this update.

     

    Since midnight last night, Dallas Fire-Rescue has responded to 272 calls related to high-water and the general weather conditions. There were 200 "investigations," most, if not all, cars trapped in high-water; 67 motor vehicle accidents; and 6 water rescues.

     

    The City of Dallas 3-1-1 Center and the Department of Streets Services continue to field calls regarding high water, and they are working to ensure flooded roadways are barricaded to ensure motorists' safety.

     

    The city will continue to be in close contact with the National Weather Service, US Army Corps of Engineers and the Trinity Watershed Management Department to prepare for any impacts or river flooding as a result of this recent rainfall. A flood warning remains in effect for both the Trinity River and White Rock Creek; however, the flood control system continues to operate as designed to protect people from flood waters.

     

    The city has "flooded roadway" warning signs activated at the following locations:

     
       
    • 6000 Bexar, under RR
    •  
    • Hatcher @4700
    •  
    • Illinois @ Linfield
    •

    •

    • Wildwood @ California Crossing
    •  
    • 800 Easton
    •  
    • 11500 Ferguson
    •  
    • Goforth @ Lanshire Merriman Pkwy
    •  
    • 7400 West Lawther @ Northwest Hwy
    •  
    • Peavy @ Dixon
    •  
    • 9200 Branch White Rock Trail
    •  
    • 9500 Lake Highlands
    •  
    • 2400 S. Lamar under railroad
    •  
     

    The following streets are closed or allowing only limited traffic:

     
       
    • 4400-4600 Elsie F Higgins
    •  
    • Elsie F Higgins @ Junction
    •  
    • Elsie F Higgins @ Bruton
    •  
    • Good Latimer between Swiss and Live Oak
    •  
    • 800 Plymouth
    •  
    • W. Lawther between Goforth and Northwest Highway
    •  
     

    Barricades are being set up at the following locations:

     
       
    • N W Highway at Buckner
    •  
    • RH lanes on both sides Duran at Northwest Hwy
    •  
    • Mockingbird and Lawther
    •  
     

    Water department vehicles are en route to tow DFR apparatus. Wreckers are en route to tow 2 DPD squad cars stranded due to high water. A number of traffic signals are flashing.

     

    The city continues to stress that people should not drive into water on roadways or drive around barricaded roadways. The barricades protect lives and property from dangerous flooding.

    Coworking News

    New-style coworking concept Switchyards from Atlanta to open in Dallas

    A new kind of shared workspace is coming to Dallas: Called Switchyards, it's an Atlanta based chain that calls itself "the world’s first neighborhood work club," and it will open in Oak Cliff at 610 N. Tyler St., in the space most previously occupied by Boxwood Hospitality (Cliff House), and Good Shepherd Church, which is moving to Wax Space.

    According to a statement, it'll open on August 25.

    Switchyards was founded in 2019 by CEO Michael Tavani with a goal of creating “a place in your neighborhood purpose-built to sit with your laptop, grab a coffee, and get some good work done.” There are currently 29 locations including a dozen around Atlanta, plus locations across the southeast. There's also a location in Austin, which opened in mid-June.

    They describe themselves as a combination of a coffee shop, college library, and boutique hotel lobby, located in residential neighborhoods. Unlike some other co-working concepts that are in business areas requiring a commute, Switchyards strives to be within 10 minutes of its members' homes.

    Each club features a bustling coffee shop look and feel, with quiet areas for focused work, and bookable conference rooms and phone booths for meetings.

    Notably, it’s open 24/7, and has free coffee with a cost — $100 a month — that's more like a gym membership. You're given a key and can enter whenever you want. Rather than renting offices, it's a place to go to for a few hours of focused work around others. And members get access to every Switchyards location.

    They have some groundrules that include not moving the furniture, no eating full meals (they say the smells and the mess create a negative experience for everyone else in the club), no work stations, and no calls, meetings, speakerphone, or zooms in public spaces.

    Memberships are generally limited and supposedly sell out quickly.

    They just opened a location in Austin in mid-June; Switchyards Creative Director Brandon Hinman said “It’s almost like a Ritz-Carlton and a dive bar had a baby. It does have that luxe feel, it does feel generous, it does feel dialed in, but it also has a little bit of ‘Cheers’ to it, a little bit of that neighborhood pub to it, and that’s the balance we’re trying to hit.”
