Description

It was still dark the morning of Halloween 2013 when hundreds of families in Onion Creek, a neighborhood in South East Austin, woke up to rising water in their homes. The family of Bene Jacobs is just one of the almost six hundred stories of survival that came out of the Halloween Floods. However, five people died in the disaster. As of today, the city of Austin has demolished seventy of the flood-damaged homes.
KUT's Joy Diaz caught up with the family of Bene Jacobs to find out where they are now.
