How a giant water tunnel saved downtown San Antonio during the flood of '98

Most San Antonio residents remember Saturday, Oct. 17, 1998, vividly: They recall where they were when they realized the city was underwater and would stay that way for days.

I don't even know when this was broadcast but I worked on that project for 3 years. I was a young man then. 😂 it shows it being a stright tunnel but it did have a curve in it. We had to go around the Alamo. Even at that depth close to 200'. Brings back alot of memories thanks
