Desperate times call for rooftop tents.
Williamson County, Texas, Sheriff Robert Chody tweeted a photo of a Houston house deep in flood waters — with residents making their emergency home up on the roof with tents.
“The total loss our team is seeing in indescribable,” he wrote. “Pitching tents on roofs.”
Chody’s tweet confused some residents of Williamson County, which is north of Austin and hasn’t been hit by torrential rains of Tropical Storm Harvey.

His department sent deputies to Houston to help first-responders here.
“The image of tent on roof is not in Williamson County but in Houston just to be clear taken from my deputies in Houston,” Chody wrote.
