"Guys we are going to have to evacuate." It was those words that became a defining moment for KHOU 11 News and Len Cannon was there.
He was in the midst of anchoring round the clock coverage of Hurricane Harvey in August of 2017, when the station started taking on water.
"We were forced off the air for several hours until we moved to another studio."

Something monumental happened to Len since moving to Houston. He became a dad.
