PLEASE SHARE!!
This is just ONE neighborhood in North Houston, off of Cypresswood in Spring TX.
I was shocked that these houses flooded, they seemed like they were built so much higher up off the street than most.
But this area was close to the Cypress Creek which flooded most neighborhoods on either side and f it.
This Subdivision was on the north side of Cypresswood. Cypress Creek is actually south of Cypresswood and that subdivision was even worse!
I am worried about the mold issue. The physical devastation is clear and visible, and horrible though it is, these homes will be restored. But the silent issue is often toxic mold.
My family has a genetic sensitivity to mold and just driving through these neighborhoods set off my sinuses big time. I cant imagine what these people are going through and I fear they will continue to deal with the health implications as the months and years go by.
I pray this is not the case. But we have an entire city that was inundated with longstanding water and bacteria, the breeding ground for mold.
Mold is a serious health hazard and cannot be ignored. In the following days and weeks, take notice of any increase of illnesses in and around any of the flooded areas.
