Hurricane Harvey victims in one Sugar Land neighborhood got surprise servings of Pizza Hut pizzas on Tuesday after workers delivered the pizzas by kayak.

Shayda Habib, the manager of Pizza Hut on West Airport, said she made the decision to deliver pizzas after one of her shift managers told her people in the Village of Oak Lake neighborhood were hungry and low on food.

"We packed 120 pizzas into kayaks and took them out to people in their homes," Habib said. "The people in the houses didn't expect us to come. It was so nice to see their smiles after so much gloom."

Habib said she and six of her workers waded through waters that was as high as their chest. When the water was too high, workers put the pizzas on their lay and paddled in the kayaks to people's homes.

The pizza manager said she plans on delivering more pizzas on Wednesday and Thursday, until the store runs out of food to deliver.

The greater Houston area received a vast amount of rainfall when Hurricane Harvey hit this past weekend, with some areas getting hit by as much as 40 inches according to the National Weather Service.
