Monday flooding

[acorneau]

Just a quick roll-call for all my greater-Houston area folks.

Various streets around the neighborhood are flooded, bayous are cresting, but we are high and dry.

Everyone else ok?

Tried to go to work twice only getting to Braes Bayou the second time. Trucks running rough need to go disconnect the battery & see if the check engine light is something big.

We were moated in. House dry, but looked like we were in Venice.

water came up over curb onto sidewalk but houe is about 2 feet higher. I feel bad for the folks in meyerland

Our house turn into a lake front property but dry inside. Got word from my boss that don't bother coming to work.

We are ok, our daughter in the Woodlands is Ok, my son got some water in his house (W. Little York @ Hwy 6) through the garage.

I just had to fetch 2 very heavy trash cans from 5 houses down our street. Apparently the full cans not only got a lot of water in them but also literally floated away. Looking at the high water mark in my yard, it would appear our street was about 3.5' deep in water last night.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

High and dry in the woodlands. Saw some high water while I was out briefly for lunch.

No water in the house for us in the woodlands. Never seen our street flood before, it was half way up our driveway @ 5 this morning. Tried to get to work in Aldine this morning, no good, too much water.

Never again ...


We lost our home to the high waters of Allison in 2001.
I rebuilt on higher ground a few block West, and our current finished floor here is 36" above grade.


But, it was getting to the point that it all depended upon whether Braes Bayou overflows its banks as to whether my neighbors are in danger ... jury is still out.

I'm off today, but lots of water rescues in the Aldine area. Ella/Veterans Memorial area, Airline/Gulf Bank area, and Hardy from Beltway 8 north all seeing rescues.

High and dry out here. Lakes are quite full though, as they're intended to be.

 

[Mreed911]

And this, folks, is why we don't drive through water above grade... no way to tell what's happening below the surface:

And an armadillo save!

Those things are the only animal other than humans that carry leprosy. I'd never touch one.

Yes, I-10 in downtown is closed, but you can take the north loop (610) around with no problems.
