Only thing I can think of is maybe they’re trying to keep their clothes dry because they might be their only set of dry clothes.

It could also be she’s a parapalegic and her wheel chair isn’t in view.

I wish someone would identify the street in pic #7.

Your wish is granted.

Tidwell Road, East Houston, Texas, on Aug 28, 2017.

There was a lady on the other side of the bayou during the hurricane who went into labor. She was 8 months along.

I tried to get to her house since I had a truck, but there was no freakin way I was getting over the bayou at that point.

I never found out what happened.

In the defense of the low water sissies in the photos, it can go from ankle deep to waist deep real fast.

Folks just don’t think about it during normal times. My street was dry, but around the corner was ball deep. There is a slope, apparently. I never thought about it or sensed it.

A ladder fire truck drove down my (flat as hell) street and misjudged the water at the end, and had to back up the entire length, almost a quarter mile.

If I got out with my dogs but nothing else, I’d still consider myself the wealthiest woman alive.

#14. “The Boat People - Episode II, 2017”

But hey, they’re being rescued again under the American flag, just like our guys did back in 1975-77.

Chris Cuomo - you suck! Dan Rather- you were lucky to get of Nam alive. The Marines hated you and your pro-communist reporting and wanted to “off you” and it wasn’t the “f*ck off” version either.
