Team coverage: Parts of Harris County, Montgomery County under evacuation orders

After Harvey got me I left Houston after 20 years of living there

I understand owning the property and wanting to live there. I don't understand building a conventional home in a flood plain.

We begged the river authority to release water early, "we don't know if it will rain enough to recover" probably got enough rain

That’s so messed up that people let that lady buy that house and never told her it has a history of going under water every couple of years. Everyone out here in this area knows that. Her realtor absolutely knew. Super sad. What a mess.

Houston hasn’t gotten rid of little Nazi Hidalgo yet? What a shame. She was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. I fled and have never looked back.

Lots more rain on its way

Houston texas...is that where this is,?

River Plantation has flooded severely a minimum of three times since the 1970's. It has actually been more times than that but that's how many times my mom's cousin got flooded out of that neighborhood, once all the way into the 2nd floor, destroying everything they put up there to protect after having flooded the downstairs the first 2 times. She finally moved. Her son now lives in the same neighborhood, different house. In fact, one he bought cheap after the last flood. Must be a really nice place to live. Prayers for safety for people of that area!

"We are Houston strong!" Pride before the fall. I'm praying for all those at risk.

Houston n is so big, I live right smack in the center and this is over an hour drive from me!

How did that woman not know she bought a home that is prone to flood?! SMH

I haven't lived in kingwood for 20 years, but I grew up there in the 80's and 90's. This reminds me of several hurricanes and a handful of untimely water release from Lake Conroe. Hang in there guys. At least it probably won't be like the flood of 94'.

Thank God I live in SOUTHEAST N.M, where my house will never flood! My insurance carrier, doesn't even consider my house to be in a flood plain! I cant even buy flood insurance, because it isnt necessary! Prayers for all in Texas!

Still there are those they know better than the flood. Hope they can handle an attic stay.

A boat or large raft would be a necessity but what about your animals?

A lot of homes being sold to out of towners uneducated about the rinse and repeat homes are stuck . The big price elevator with real estate just is a punch in the gut . The sale of the homes should have come with a manditory insurance for flooding being stuck in a flood plain , but those who are without a mortgage and paid cash with no insurance are the worst off . That’s if the insurance co. don’t dip on them .
