Wedding Book Hung Out to Dry. Houston, Texas, September 2, 2017.
Retired teachers married for 57 years, the owners of this wedding book lived in their Baytown home for 40 years and never experienced flooding. During Harvey, they woke in the middle of the night to discover Cypress Creek flowing through their home. They were able to wade to a raised roadway behind their home where their son met them with a vehicle. Cypress Creek waters spent four days in their home and reached a depth of four feet. In addition to family and friends, the couple's church played a crucial role in gutting and rebuilding their flood damaged home.
