Those kids are paddling in my street – I now live on waterfront property.
Houston or Venice?
Nope that’s not a river. This is a retention pond ( it’s roughly 20-25 ft deep) that’s currently overflowed. We have trees and a soccer field in there.
This is what people in my hometown are doing.
Of course, the rain also brought some very serious consequences. Eight people have died and countless have had to be evacuated. This local news station offers ways to help local victims and to anyone in the Houston area, stay safe!
