He added: “North, south, east, west, the paralysis knows no boundaries.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="485" data-total-count="2440">Of course, as residents begin to recover, there are huge differences between the options open to the poor and to the well-to-do. Mr. Armenta, who specializes in sheetrock finishing, has no insurance and no savings to rely on for rebuilding. Dr. Nguyen has savings for an emergency, and flood insurance. The Nguyens can live on their second floor. The Armentas do not have one. But what is clear is the devastation is connecting people of disparate means in one common experience: loss.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="320" data-total-count="2760">On Tuesday, with the storm not yet over, Mr. Armenta stood in a yellow raincoat in the moat around his house, next to a nephew wielding a machete meant to fend off alligators and snakes. “It’s the work of a whole life,” Mr. Armenta said, his head hung low. “So much sacrifice, just to lose it all in a moment.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="419" data-total-count="3179">Mr. Armenta lives in an industrial patch of the city where the median home value is $82,000. It is home to mechanic shops and dump sites and is a place where working-class immigrants like him can afford to buy. His neighbors are tree-trimmers and house painters. <a href="https://www.niche.com/places-to-live/n/el-dorado---oates-prairie-houston-tx/">Sixty-five percent</a> own their homes. Mr. Armenta, a legal immigrant from Mexico, lives with his wife, Maria, and his three children: Leonela, Luis and Isaac.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="376" data-total-count="3555">For much of the week, El Dorado’s streets and modest yards were mostly under water. The entire neighborhood reeked of gasoline. On Tuesday, the crossing signal on the nearby train route rang for hours, filling the place with an ominous clang, clang, clang. At Mr. Armenta’s house, his nephew David, 34, waded through the water and plucked a ruined work boot from the muck.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="267" data-total-count="3822">Inside, it smelled like rot. The flood had ripped up the floorboards; the leather couches were soaked in water, oil and mud. And the detritus of family life lay about: soaked diaper boxes, scattered roller skates, tiny cowboy boots and a baby doll floating face down.</p><figure id="media-100000005403411" class="media photo embedded layout-large-horizontal media-100000005403411 ratio-tall" data-media-action="modal" itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemid="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/09/01/us/01Richpoor-2/01Richpoor-2-master675.jpg" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" aria-label="media" role="group">

He makes $19 hour. But work is sporadic, he said. He had tried to buy flood insurance, but the house was in such bad shape when he purchased it that no one would insure him.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="239" data-total-count="4445">Since then, he has fixed up the bathroom, laid the wood floors, and painted the living room walls. He is staying with Maria and their children at the nephew’s house down the street. The loss is likely in the tens of thousands of dollars.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="125" data-total-count="4570">Of course he will pay the last $400 on the house, he said. And of course they will rebuild here: “What choice do I have?”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="186" data-total-count="4756">By Thursday, the water had drained and the neighbors had become a cleanup crew, spilling the now-soggy contents of their lives into the street — carpets, cabinets, drawers, all soaked.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="357" data-total-count="5113">Inside Antonio’s reeking home, the Armentas took a sledgehammer to the walls, kicking them out a foot or two above the water line. Members of his church came by with ham, juice, bread and water. And after some back and forth with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Armenta believed his family would get a month’s assistance to stay at a hotel.</p><figure id="media-100000005404669" class="media photo embedded layout-large-horizontal media-100000005404669 ratio-tall" data-media-action="modal" itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemid="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/09/01/us/01richpoor-03/01richpoor-03-master675.jpg" itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" aria-label="media" role="group">

<p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="172" data-total-count="7050">Now, the home they bought in 2014 had been flooded, ruining everything on the first floor, along with a car and a sport utility vehicle. The water marks measured 31 inches.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="206" data-total-count="7256">“This has been traumatic. But I try to be practical about it, and remember what we still have,” Dr. Nguyen, 47, said above the roar of workers using industrial vacuums to suck the water out of his home.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="507" data-total-count="7763">On Wednesday, the front yards of Southdale were lined with heaping piles of furniture, linens, art — the stuff that makes a home, home. Much of the contents of Dr. Nguyen’s four-bedroom house were on the lawn under the old oak tree — leather sofas, flat-screen televisions, closet doors and a mountain of wood flooring and molding. Parts of the kitchen were now in the backyard, including stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry and a wide granite counter. The kitchen had been remodeled in 2015.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="381" data-total-count="8144">The Nguyens’ perspective is built upon their Roman Catholic faith and family histories. Both Vietnamese immigrants, they came to the United States after the Vietnam War. Ms. Nguyen and her family lived in a Philippine refugee camp six months before a relative sponsored them in Houston; Dr. Nguyen and his family — he is one of 11 siblings — were sponsored by an Ohio church.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="94" data-total-count="8238">“We have seen so much more poverty back home, bad living conditions,” said Ms. Nguyen, 40.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="279" data-total-count="8517">Dr. Nguyen nodded. “Our parents were hard-working, what some might consider poor,” he said. “So I just think, yes, this is difficult, but everything can be replaced and there are people out there who have lost so much more than us and will have a harder time recovering.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="130" data-total-count="8647">It is a common story in Houston, where one generation can often separate those aspiring to a comfortable life and those living it.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="185" data-total-count="8832">Mr. Caldwell, whose congregation is mostly black, noted that many impoverished residents had fled to shelters for safety, while wealthier people left Houston or hunkered down in hotels.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="160" data-total-count="8992">“Yes, there is a multisite ground zero disaster,” he said. “But how people are able to respond to it is what is separating the haves and the have-nots.”</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="91" data-total-count="9083">He said the disparities now foreshadowed the recovery ahead, which is likely to take years.</p><p class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="363" data-total-count="9446">“The painful reality is that your economic basket, or lack thereof, is going to determine what your options are and how quickly you’re able to bounce back,” he said. “The bottom line is that dispelling and destroying the disparities was high on the mayor’s agenda prior to this disaster. But surely the comeback trail will be full of bumps and holes.”</p><footer class="story-footer story-content">
