SUGAR LAND, Texas — Heavy rain hit the Houston area Monday.
While water levels quickly receded in most areas, that wasn't the case for one neighborhood in Sugar Land.
"No electricity yesterday and now I'm living on a lakefront property today," resident Burns Boaz said.
According to a Sugar Land city spokesperson, there was some sort of blockage connected to a major drainage project near Montclair Boulevard and Charleston S. that caused the neighborhood to flood for hours.
Residents struggled to get to their homes. Many of them tried to get an answer as to what was going on.
"I called the police department, then I called the city of Sugar Land, bounced me back to police department, who then said I’m going to give you the number to the city of Sugar Land Public Works, one resident said. “No power yesterday… lake front property today."
The spokesperson said the problem would be resolved before Tuesday morning.
The city brought in pumps that seem to help the water recede.
