Two Quebec women among the many affected by Texas flooding
HOUSTON — Two Quebec women are among the thousands of people caught up in the flooding in Texas caused by Hurricane Harvey — one who can’t leave her home and one who has no idea when she can return home.
Emilie Lapointe lives in the Houston area and, like many others in the city, has been confined to her house since the flooding began last Friday.
“I left work Friday at lunchtime, before the flood began, and I have not been out of my house since,” she told the French service of The Canadian Press on Monday.
She said even though her neighbourhood has been spared the flooding, she can’t go to work because the area where her office is located is flooded.
