Texas flooding emergency: Plum Grove evacuee forced to leave family dog behind is among those who spoke with ABC13 [Video]

Consecutive days of rain aren’t unusual in southeast Texas. After all, Hurricane Harvey in 2017 changed the region forever.

So, when neighbors north and east of Houston faced rising water levels in the San Jacinto and Trinity rivers, many expressed to ABC13 that they could get through this.

On Friday, those residents in places like Conroe, Kingwood, northern Liberty County, and River Plantation essentially said the same thing: We’ve never seen anything like this.

Eyewitness News traveled to those communities as neighbors made sudden exits from their homes and lamented what they left behind, including, in one instance, the heartbreaking decision involving a family pet.

ABC13 also spoke to a few of the rescuers who jumped into action during Harvey and did it again during these desperate times.
