Houston Flooded Families

There are blocks and blocks and blocks of homes that have been flooded and now families are dealing with the aftermath of cleanup!

Going through a flood means lots of loss! Anything paper is gone, this includes sheetrock. Carpet, furniture and anything cloth is usually ruined from the flood waters carrying mud, debris and bacteria.

It's hot and sticky and now mildew is setting in from the humidity. This makes for a miserable time for every one who is recovering from this mess!

People are trying to recover their cars and save them.

Washed out roads and bridges add their own stresses to the troubles Houston is dealing with today.
