Well for those of you who aren't aware, we Housontians (that's them term for residents of Houston) got a taste of what Noah went through. There was a flash flood and it did some damage no doubt. Unlike the east coast we don't have any basements (exactly for this reason) thankfully. This picture is a view from the front of my home. In the 3 years I have lived here, this is the worst I have seen.
