Since those who live in Central and South Texas have been so used to drought-like conditions for the past several years, recent rainfall was at first a welcome sight. But too much rainfall has led to terrible conditions, with flooding in Houston, Austin, and points in between causing the deaths of at least 17 people, with nearly a dozen still missing.

Here’s a drone’s eye view of what happened after the rains came, but if you want to see up close the destructive power and scary nature of flood water entering a home, watch the video below, posted to YouTube by Sarah Perez.

This utterly insane video shows how one’s property can be completely ruined in the span of just a few seconds. It’s a heartbreaking video, especially given Perez’s muffled sobs as the water swirls around her house, just a few feet below her perch.
