Flood of '47

My friend Jo (in the turban/scarf) and I decided we needed to record how deep the water was on East
Fifteenth street after the big storm. We had winds that uprooted huge cottonwood trees in Carey Park and enough rain to stop the drains from carrying the water away. Standing in the gutter at the base of the driveway, we made the depth of the water seem greater than it really was in the center of the street.
Jo and I are still friends but Houston is a long way from our location on East Fifteenth!
