SAN ANTONIO — Scattered showers and thunderstorms on Saturday led to localized flooding issues in our community.
Flooding once again hit Dhaka View near Heath and Grissom on San Antonio’s Northwest Side. Jonathan Clemena’s family has been affected by floodwaters in the past.
Last June, they lost all of their belongings after heavy rain. After months of rebuilding, their home was finally repaired this May. They had just replaced their furniture and started settling back in.
Now, Saturday’s rain has caused more flooding, damaging many of the belongings they had just replaced.
District 6 said their director will reach out to Clemena to further discuss the situation and next steps or resources available, also saying they’re working to help prevent future flooding in that area.
