HOUSTON - While dozens of drivers were stacked and stranded on I-10 Katy Freeway near the Memorial exit, to avoid flood waters, two Houston women showed hospitality which makes Houston so strong. As drivers and their passengers waited for the waters to recede, two Houston women went from car to car, offering bottles of water and taquitos to the stranded.
