Weather and Your Car in East Austin
Boggy Creek and the low streets near it take water fast in a heavy storm, and some East Austin crossings close when the creek rises. Do not drive into water you cannot see the bottom of, and do not keep cranking an engine that stalled in it. Cars that live on the street sit in full sun for much of the day in summer, which wears out batteries, wiper rubber and paint early.
The building work everywhere means nails, screws and sharp debris in the road, so flat tires and slow leaks are common calls. Construction dust fills air filters and A/C condensers quickly too.
