Massive flooding has caused serious damage to the Jewish community of Houston for the second time in less than a year and just days before Passover.
Dozens of homes in the Jewish neighborhoods of Meyerland and Willow Meadows reported significant flood damage as of Tuesday morning from the extremely heavy rainfall in the previous two days, the Jewish Herald Voice reported.
