Herman, who has a second home in Houston where his daughter and family also live, sends along this link to an article on the flood status there, as well as to this video:
Herman also adds these comments:
The second bridge, as you watch this video is the one which Patty and I take to and from Amy’s. Although they are not flooded, and neither are we, this is the bridge that crosses Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive. What is in between is Buffalo Bayou, normally dry, with just a bit of water. The view is looking north, toward our home, and the very tall building as the camera pans right toward town is the AIG building, just a mile from Amy and Franklins. As you can see, Allen Parkway, which is about 30 ft below the bridge is completely covered as is Memorial. This crossing is about seven minutes from city center.
