Picked up at least one house and slammed it into the bridge in Wimberley A family was vacationing the house and call her sister saying the house was floating down the river. Out of 4 only the husband survived with cracked ribs and a collapsed lung

the bridge was destroyed and a year to rebuild

Those bridges are incredibly expensive and take forever...

..near me they are replacing a lake bridge about a quarter of a mile long. It is taking 4 years and $57 MILLION to do it.
