Tears Flow as Flood Waters Recede

While the disaster in Houston leaves the front page of the newspaper and moves down in the newscast, the people that live in Houston, have a long road in front of them. 

News crews not only covered the storm, they lived it. 

KTRK Houston Reporter Steven Romo says that he cried for the first time on air. 

Romo writes, I'd never cried on TV before, but as I reported live about a 33-year-old mother of two found dead on a fence after the water receded, I felt the tears well up.

She was washed away Monday. Friends saw her struggle- they ripped her clothes trying to pull her in, but she disappeared. Her cousin noticed her hanging on the fence outside her apartment Wednesday after Greens Bayou's water receded. The medical examiner took hours to get there so her family waited right next to her, begging neighbors not to take pictures.

Romo finally got a day off as the Houston media has been going non stop. 

But even on his day off, Romo posted a video to just help keep a dialogue going.
