“Massive” flooding in East Houston

[AntlerCollector]

Reports say there is massive flooding on the east side of Houston. 610 loop is closed in both directions. Motorists are stranded and being rescued. Not what you would expect on a nice sunny day. Apparently a large city water main has burst.

Yep. I’d hate to be the operator that hit that pipe if it wasn’t located.

From the looks of it, that was THE water main.
