Another day in Houston after a rainy night. Soils saturated and some added water to an ever flood prone area. An early morning walk to Stude Park a couple blocks from home. The corner of White Oak and Watson almost under water...
Over the bridge and looking west. I-10 on the left and White Oak Bayou on the right forming lake front property...
Ricardo on his way to work telling me of the floods in 1990 when he saw three vehicles floating down stream along White Oak Bayou. Ricardo is originally a farmer from Mexico and migrant worker. He is a US resident since late 80's. Not a citizen yet but five members of his family are citizens and they vote. Meeting candidate Camacho gave him an added incentive to become a US citizen...
Area favorite apartments under usual water levels. Somebody forgot to move their cars overnight...
Channel 11 and Univision filming footage and waiting for water levels to increase. Note there vehicles halfway under the water...
Residents from the First Ward enjoying photo ops ...
Another vehicle under water on White Oak Drive...
Mango Beach in the Heights. Univision getting ready to interview Simel the businessman behind Mango Beach...
Met Simel through Joe Yayo "el rolo brusco" Medina from Colombia. Simel is attending the police academy with hopes to become a police officer with Harris County and he enjoys running his Mango Beach coffee and refreshment shop...
Of course, it is campaign season and vote for Camacho sign blends in with the Mango Beach colors...
