Flood waters in Humble have forced some residents to evacuate due to the water levels continuing to rise.
In Humble , flood waters generally fall within Harris County 's Voluntary Evacuation zone, which leaves residents surrounded by water with two choices: Get out or be prepared to sit and wait until the water recedes. By Friday morning, some had found Mother Nature made the decision for them.On a quiet N. Houston Avenue, in Humble , the sound of flowing water and rain was broken by the roar of a Houston Fire Department high-water rescue team.
He told firefighters that there were more people, facing a couple more days of rising water, who were persuaded to leave. "I told all the people at the place I manage, 'You can stay if you want, but I'm not going to make that decision for you," he says, "I can't be responsible for your well-being. Some of them decided they were going to stay, and now they've decided they're going to go.
