ANAHEIM — A’s second baseman Jed Lowrie, a Houston resident, continues to monitor the devastating effects that Hurricane Harvey is having on Texas’ largest city.
Lowrie says his home — which is located near Rice University — is not in a main floodplain and remains relatively unaffected by the flooding that has necessitated the rescue of at least 3,000 people so far.
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, so some parts of it are being affected much more heavily than others.
“You just hope everybody took the necessary precautions,” Lowrie said. Lowrie’s wife, Milessa, flew out to the Bay Area with their two kids, but Milessa’s mother, who lives with them, has remained in their Houston home.
