Original Note:
Lakewood Church, previously Compaq Center, is prone to flooding, as it did during Allison and Harvey. That said, the flooding wasn’t too bad, but the Church also lacks shower and kitchen facilities. Thus while not an official shelter, they did provide shelter during Harvey. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/us/joel-osteen-backlash-church.amp.html https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/08/why-the-outrage-about-joel-osteen-s-houston-megachurch-might-be-overblown.html
