It’s been five years since Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas coast, however, the impact of the storm is still being felt in areas like Friendswood.
David Boatwright says floodwaters from Mary’s Creek behind his neighborhood quickly rose into the Wedgwood Village subdivision during that storm.
“We didn’t have more than 15-20 minutes warning before it was up in this yard, so it came up really fast,” Boatwright said.“We lost everything in the house. We had three and a half feet of water in the house,” he said.“They are still rebuilding from the flood, and they’ve had a number of hassles,” Boatwright said.
“We are still working on some of our mitigation, our long-term mitigation projects that are trying to prevent things from happening or put us in a position for the future,” Mansfield.
