Thanks Dan.
We're up in The Woodlands a few blocks from the IMTX swim start and thankfully high and dry. Our daughter though, also in The Woodlands, wasn't so fortunate. Much of her neighborhood flooded, including her street and house. The one good thing for her is that she rents the garage apartment so her belonging are fine. She'll be staying with us again until she finds a new place. We spent the day today cleaning out her house (first pic) as well as her neighbors house (second pic).
The small lake behind these houses sits about 50 feet behind the house and about 15 feet lower.
Several things were really cool as we were working today. There was a group uniformed officers from Arlington, TX in the neighborhood helping whoever need help clearing out their house. There were also groups of teenage boys going house to house lending their strong backs to the efforts. Teenage girls were walking the neighborhood with coolers full of drinks passing them out. About every 20 minutes or so someone would drive up with sandwiches, homemade cookies, pizzas, fired chicken, coffee, etc. The support was amazing.
