OPINION
This action arises from damage alleged to have been caused by diversion or impounding of water by a road. Appellants, importers and distributors, stored 1620 Renault, Dauphin and Peugeot automobiles which had been imported from France through the Port of Houston. They leased 27 acres as a storage area, beginning the storage late in 1959.

There was a culvert under the road, and under railroad embankments south of the road.
