Flooding in the Surrounding Area Impacts Our Community (610 @ Broadway)!
Oak Meadows persevered through another day of flooded streets throughout our neighborhood. We also experienced black smoke and flaring from TPC due to a power outage, mirroring the power outages in some homes within Oak Meadows. Additionally, large pieces of trash floated down the streets, and red ants were active. Teenagers began walking the streets after the rain subsided. Notably, neighbors assisted one another by providing assistance to those whose vehicles were flooded, enabling them to return home. Thank you, Oak Meadows, for your neighborly support during this flooding event.
Oak Meadows sobrevivió otro día de calles inundadas en todo nuestro vecindario. También tuvimos humo negro y llamaradas de TPC debido a un corte de luz, al igual que algunas casas en OM. También vimos grandes trozos de basura flotando por las calles y hormigas rojas moviéndose. Algunos adolescentes comenzaron a caminar por las calles cuando dejó de llover. Lo mejor fue cuando los vecinos llamaron a otros vecinos para que los ayudaran a volver a casa porque su auto se inundó. Gracias, Oak Meadows, por ayudar a sus vecinos durante esta inundación.
Budget Survey Open and Ready!
As you may know, Harris County is facing a big budget challenge. For the upcoming 2026 fiscal year, county leaders expect to have $270 million less than what is needed to keep all services running as they are today because of rising costs and the loss of federal funds.
Harris County Precinct 2 wants to hear from you about which county services are most important to keep, where you think the county could make some cuts, and whether you would support raising taxes to avoid these cuts. Your feedback will help guide tough decisions in the months ahead.
To lend your input to the budget-making process, please take3-5 minutes to complete this brief, anonymous survey. To participate, you must be:
- 18 years old or older
- A resident or business owner in Harris County Precinct 2
If you meet these qualifications and wish to have your data combined with others to inform the budget-making process underway in Harris County, please click on the link below to the Precinct 2 Kinder Institute FY26 or use the attached QR Code:
