Earlier this year, Joel Dinkin, the executive vice president of the center, told ABC13 the facility is nearly restored.

Twelve feet of water filled the building. Furniture floated away. Finally even the camera was submerged. And this center at the heart of Meyerland that had served more than 1,000 people a day was shut down.
