The Cajun Navy has some pretty good experience with these sort of events, and fortunately for one Houston woman they showed up at just the right time to save her life.
Stafford Barnett, who you may know from KPEL's Winging-It Wednesday, and whose home flooded last August, has come up with a way to protect his home by using a unique device that he built. He was kind enough to share pictures, and instructions on how to build one for yourself.
When faced with overwhelming situations like this, some people decide to make the best of it and laugh through the pain. Check out this Houston man diving around to catch a fish that was swimming through his house as a result of the flooding.
