I spent yesterday (Friday) afternoon and evening in Friendswood which is town about 30ish minutes north of Galveston helping my cousin who had 8 feet of standing water in his once lovely house. A team of us gutted most of his house (first floor) and we're heading back this morning to continue working and then tackle the garage.
The houses and cars had water in them for over 5 days as the police did not allow residents back to their houses until yesterday (due to high water), so the smell after opening up was horrific and a terrible stench, there were people throwing as it was that pungent. Lots of mold too...and I mean lots.
Driving around the town and looking at the devastation that people and families are enduring is gut wrenching, sickening and saddening...and I'm a tough cat.
Some pictures I snapped to share with you.
