Houston streets fill up with water; kids stranded at schools
Juan A. Lozano Published 5:11 PM EDT May 8, 2019 Houston – It was a scene that has repeated itself countless times in the Houston area: heavy rainfall made area roadways impassable and flooded homes, schools and businesses. On Wednesday, the Houston area was drying out after severe thunderstorms a day earlier caused flash flooding , inundating streets and stranding students at some schools. A break in the weather was expected to be short-lived as more rainfall was predicted over the next few days. The rainfall was nowhere near what the area experienced during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which flooded more than 150,000 homes in the Houston area and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage in Texas. But it represents what is becoming the new normal for Houston and surrounding communities, according to a local expert on flooding. “We’re going to have to learn to live with flooding in Houston and we haven’t quite accepted that reality yet,” said Jim … [Read more...] about Houston streets fill up with water; kids stranded at schools

Garage catches fire at Texas home of boxer George Foreman
Updated 12:22 pm CDT, Monday, April 15, 2019 HOUSTON (AP) — Authorities say an accidental fire in a garage at the Texas home of former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman damaged the garage and several vehicles, but caused no injuries. A spokeswoman for the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office, Rachel Moreno, says the Sunday night blaze didn't spread beyond the garage. She says smoke and water damaged some of the approximately 40 vehicles inside. Moreno said the fire started on a golf cart. Foreman later tweeted, "Don't worry all is well." He thanked firefighters who responded to the home in Huffman, an unincorporated community in the Houston area. The fire comes just more than a month after Foreman's daughter, Freeda Foreman, was found dead in her home in suburban Houston. … [Read more...] about Garage catches fire at Texas home of boxer George Foreman
