It was a terrible flashback for many when parts of the Lake Houston area went underwater three weeks ago. Hurricane Harvey decimated the community in August of 2017, leaving hundreds of homes destroyed by floodwater.
The significant rain event last May brought the community to a drenched standstill with hundreds of homes being flooded, many in the Elm Grove and Woodland Hills areas that had never flooded before.
And just days ago, it returned. The remnants of Tropical Depression Imelda dumped vast amounts of rain onto the community Sept. 19 and the painful experience of soaked homes, destroyed walls and misery came surging back for at least 400 Kingwood homeowners. Affected homes were also in Huffman, Porter and beyond.
