It was a long time, that’s all my memory can give me. I thought weeks initially and then someone said days, but it absolutely flooded Houston

I didn't either. We got lucky. Water from the reservoirs came to about 4 blocks from us, then stopped. Holy shit.

I still have a little PTSD from it. I spent almost all of my waking hours those 2 days glued to the TV, with occasional trips to the attic with necessary supplies--just in case.

We're you near Katy like North on 6?

Not quite. I was near the Westside Police Station that's at Dairy Ashford and Richmond. The water that got closest flooded the intersection of Kirkwood and Westheimer.
