After last year’s drought I hate to complain about rain but ENOUGH ALREADY! Two days in a row this last week I drove my car through deep water. I don’t know when I have been that scared. The Lord was good to me and I made it through but it was quite scary. I drive a Nissan Ultima which is fairly close to the ground and to be quite honest I’m not sure how I was not swept off the road.
It has now been days later but the flood water is still hanging around. The picture to the right is a picture of Spring Creek. The operative word here is Creek not River. Typically when going over this bridge you have to look hard to find the water. Not so at the moment.
It has been years since we have had flooding in our area but this brought back to me how important it is that everyone get flood insurance. With the Houston area being so low you don’t have to live close to a river or a creek to flood; street flooding is not uncommon. The last number of years have been fairly dry but years ago we almost street flooded. It was shortly after we had built our house; the house behind us was being built and the builder had put in too much soil in the back yard. We had a 
thunderstorm and being originally from Kansas my husband had went out on the back porch in the middle of the night to enjoy the storm. As he opened the door he noticed that the water was almost to our back door. The fence was acting like a damn so he opened the side gate and whoosh we were saved. The next day I ordered flood insurance.
Personally I think everyone in the Spring/Tomball/Magnolia/The Woodlands area should have flood insurance. When you don’t live in a floor plain it is relatively inexpensive. Ours cost less than $400 a year but for the peace of mind it gives it is worth every penny. I have worked with clients that have flooded and I think it is almost worse than a fire. In a fire everything is just gone but in a flood it is still there to see but totally ruined. It will take about a month to get your policy going. I’m not sure why but that is the way it is.
After the drought we had last year it is amazing to see all the rain this year. After that awful drought I hate to complain about rain but we are getting too much of a good thing!! The gist of the post is that if you don’t have flood insurance and you live in this area you should think about getting it.

Have you noticed with the Internet how small our world has become?
The Thicket is located in Spring TX just 20 minutes to the Northwest of Houston. It is located just to the west of I-45 between Louetta and Cypresswood off of Mirror Road. The subdivision is located far enough away from the main roads that you don’t hear any street noise, yet it is totally convenient to I-45. Located just 15 minutes to the north you also have all the ammenities of the Woodlands. With large soaring pine trees and beautifully landscaped yards it is a quiet tranquil community of approximately 250 homes
