Neighbors Call Man ‘Crazy’ For Spending $8,300 On 400FT

When the Texas floods loomed large last week, one family in Rosharon, Texas, turned to an unusual yet highly effective solution to fend off the rising waters. Randy Wagner, determined to protect his home and family from the torrential rains, made a unique investment: an Aqua dam, a system of water-filled tubes that acts as a colossal sandbag.

Facing a flood warning from the Brazos River Authority, Wagner knew he needed to take extreme measures to prevent his family from being relocated. The thought of such a disruption was, in his words, “heartbreaking.” A Google search led him to Aqua Dams, and he embarked on a journey to Louisiana to procure a 400-foot-long and 30-inch-high Aqua dam.
