AUSTIN (AP) — At least 49 fami
lies in southeast Travis County were
tallying up flood damage Sunday af
ter a swollen creek washed away cars
and property and flooded highways
and homes.
The families were forced to evac
uate their homes after up to 14
inches of rain fell late Friday and
early Saturday, said Diane Wheeler,
a spokeswoman with the American
Red Cross.
“The caseworkers will work with
them on a one-to-one basis,”
Wheeler said. “A lot of them lost
cars. We’ll see who needs food and
clothes.”
Wheeler said 21 homes sustained
major damage, while another 28 suf
fered minor damage in the Thor
oughbred Farms subdivision and
two areas in Garfield.
Though no injuries were re
ported, emergency workers helped
people out of trees, off of car tops
and away from flooded homes.
The heavy rains stemmed from a
mixture of tropical air from the
south and a cool front from the
north, Jim Dugan of the National
Weather Service said. The two sys
tems met over Central Texas and
touched off the widespread, slow-
moving thunderstorms.
There was at least a 50 percent
chance for more rain Sunday, the
NWS said.
In the Thoroughbred Farms sub
division, a row of duplexes — many
leased to people who qualify for gov
ernment rent subsidies — was
swamped by Dry Creek floodwaters-
Water rose 4 feet inside manv of
the duplexes, washing away furni
ture and belongings. Rats, snakes
and ants floated in the water beside
the fleeing residents.
About 42 people were evacuated
from the southeastern part of the
county by Austin and volunteer fire
departments, and about 10 were res
cued by the EMS helicopter, authori
ties said.
Airport officials said rainfall of 11
to 14 inches was reported to the vol
unteer fire department by residents
of the southeastern part of the
county.

HOUSTON (AP) —The Houston
metropolitan area population will
exceed 5 million by the year 2010,
predicts a task force organized un
der the auspices of the Houston-Gal-
veston Area Council.
The task force, made up of pri
vate and public sector representa
tives from seven area counties, esti
mated the population of the region
will grow by two million people by
2010. The report uses 1980 figures
for comparative purposes.
“Diversification and a maturing
economy will be the reason we would
continue to grow at all,” HGAC data
planner Carl Willeford said.
Harris County is expected to re
cover from the economic slump
about 1988, with about 2 percent an
nual growth beginning in 1990, he
said.
The number of employed work
ers in the area also is expected to in
crease from 1.5 million in 1980 to al
most 2.5 million by 2010.
Recently released U.S. Census Bu
reau estimates pegged the metropol
itan area’s population at the end of
1985 at 3.6 million. The task force
predicts the population to be 3.59
million in 1990.
Harris County’s population is pro
jected to jump from 2.7 million in
1990 to 3.7 million in 2010. The ex
tra million people will be employed
primarily by industries outside the
energy sector, Willeford predicted.
The task force’s predictions aren’t
infallible, Willeford acknowledged.
But Majorie Landry, a HGAC re
port participant and economic de
velopment analyst for Houston
Lighting 8c Power Co., said she be
lieved the best data available went
into the report.
“Looking at the average national
ratio of jobs to person, we felt the
economy would become healthy
enough for ours to at least equal
that, if not go above it,” Landry said.
