We have a local trailer shop here in town that donated the use of 30 Enclosed trailers, they have em all filled up and last i heard they need 3 more people to make the drive down. Im on the list just not sure if they found others before me. Figured a day and a few dollars in fuel there and back is the least i could do. Suppose to know by 8am in the am and they are leaving out at 10am.

 

Katy (doing ok)
KIngwood (underwater) 3+ feet in houses
Friendswood (stranded but dry)
League City (stranded but dry)

 

Kingwood looks like it's getting it real bad -- what a mess....

 

it came within 1/2" of my weep holes on Sunday night. I had been watching it rise all day (13") , i was crunching numbers and i told my wife that between 1 and 3 am it was coming in. moved all furniture up stair. AT 3 am it was there and then it backed off.

horrible feeling...horrible

kicking myself in the but, $500k house, sits high, no flood insurance.\

more than the money i was just sick that my family home of 12 years was getting ready to get messed up.

 

That sounds like a sleepless night, quite stressful.
I hope that's as high as the water gets. I'm sure flood insurance is going up for you area now.

 

Sounds as if you were very fortunate. My daughter and family are 18 miles south of Sugar Land, about 3/4 of a mile from the Brazos. It surrounded them but none in their house. They rode out the hurricane. My son is at Beaumont and his house is in a neighborhood that is slightly elevated. He had water right up to his house all the way around but none came in. So they were all lucky.

 

We have actually had quite a bit of flooding here. Nothing compared to Texas, of course, but it has been pouring hard almost every afternoon for weeks. Several roads around town have been flooded, and lots of sinkholes are popping up in parking lots and yards. Typical Florida summer weather, but it seems significantly worse this year.

 

I was wondering how you fared down there -- glad you made it through with no water coming in.....

 

some folks I know lost it all, been a rough week for Texans

 

 

Very cool! Any reason why you aren't going 93?

 

1 big reason. We aint got it and never really had it

Sure wish we had 93 though

 

That's a good one I guess,

I just figured that 93 was available in TX. I swear I saw it in Houston, but could very well be wrong.

If ANYWHERE in the US should have 93, it's Texas

 

Wichita Falls, Down to Dallas/Fort Worth/ Waco/ Austin/Houston/San Antonio to the east has all 93. Basically Abilene, San Angelo, Lubbock, Amarillo to the west is 91
