I think that movement was pretty much halted in November of 2016. California is that state that wants to secede these days.

No clue of the exact situation but I'm guessing Dickinson, like Houston, did not have a mandatory evacuation in place at the time. The flooding was way worse than anticipated and in an area of a few million people there are going to be a lot more than just a few people in a really tough spot.

It's an amazing surreal photo. It's one of those iconic photos you would see in Life Magazine.
