CNN tours Texas neighborhood buried by water

this is one of those subdivisions just off of Interstate 45 that has been here
in the town of Dickinson that has been flooded out by the floodwaters that came
in overnight and this is an area where we have seen boats criss crossing and
you know the images here that you're seeing speak for themselves is just how
devastating the floodwaters and this is an area where people went to bed last
night thinking that they were going to be high and dry in one of the areas
where they were gonna be better off to withstand the intense rain that was
coming in the floodwaters that was coming down but you can see just how
much water the folks in this neighborhood have taken on so many
people with their own boats have been coming through this neighborhood pulling
people out that actually right now it is incredibly quiet in fact not many people
if maybe only a handful by this time in the day have are still are still in here
we have seen a couple of rooftops where you can tell people have used axes to
punch their way through the Attic and onto the roof top of their homes and
crazy enough in some of these places you can still see like the porch light is
still on in some of these in some of these homes the electricity still on but
you can just see how much water is in this neighborhood everyone almost every
car submerged water you can see when you look in through the windows the
furniture tossed around in inside the floodwaters this is a little
neighborhood just adjacent to interstate 45 in the town of Dickinson you know
what as odd as we said here in Drive Austin was telling us you know you have
to be incredibly careful when you're driving through these neighborhoods he
on one of his last trips through here Frederica he said he got lodged on top
of a on top of a car that was hard to see but here you know navigating we are
we are into the trees that is how high we are here in this water probably seven
eight feet of water in some places as you know every car you've seen you're
submerged countless cars submerged you can see that the water inside the home
here you can actually see look it's over here to your right
if we look at these cars you can see the coolers where people were managing their
way trying to get to higher ground push their cars closer to the edge of the
rooftop so they could climb from their cars onto the onto the rooftops Coast
Guard teams have been coming into this neighborhood as well throughout the day
fredericka and and rescuing people you can see here we are at the top of the
street signs at the intersection of meadow court and Meadow Lane here so you
can see just how much water and this is going on and on through through all of
this you look back into the there's a bayou that stretches throughout this
back part of this neighborhood and you and you can you can see just how
dramatic the the pictures are here from this neighborhood
