A
Kentucky pastor who got trapped by floodwaters from Tropical Storm Harvey in
Houston, Texas, after travelling there with his wife so she could get surgery
last Friday described "traumatic" flooding in the city as the now tropical
cyclone continues pounding the area, threatening to make natural disaster
history.
"It's
just the saturating rain, the rain right now is just sort of relentless," Daryl
Cornett, pastor of First Baptist Church in Hazard, told WYMT on Sunday. "Just
imagine it just raining and raining and raining and the water having nowhere to
go."
Cornett
told the network that since his wife Cindy's successful surgery to remove a
tumor at MD Anderson Cancer Center on Friday, they have had to cancel their
flight home a number of times due to the flooding.
