Hey LCHIEN, are you flooded in Katy?

I know there are a few BT3Central members here from the Houston Metro area. So this is to you as well...

It just took me and my lifted 4x4 pickup 2.5 hours to get from Baybrook Mall where my wife wanted me to buy some new shirts for work, back home in League City, a total distance of about 7 miles...

Water was in places 24" deep, which is just about the bottom of my nerf bars... No danger of flooding the truck out, but having to pass the ricer kids in their Civics...

Every time somebody asks me why I drive a big gas sucking 4x4, I point to the etreme weather we have here...

I see news reports from in town (MUCH worse than Galveston County), and north of Houston around Conroe (about as bad as it is here...)

I have about 8 - 10 feet more water that would need to fill the bayou before it gets to my house...

Remind me again of why I did the right thing and stuck, it out with my mortgage instead of cutting and running off where property values weren't taking such a hit, and I wasn't in harms way so often... Oh yeah, it's the RIGHT THING TO DO...

db,

The tail just passed over Sugar Land, haven't been out on the streets since this morning so don't know how bad it is on Highway 6. No flooding in the neighborhood, but there's a nice new 6' diameter lake in front of my new Tuff Shed . And water about 6" deep all around the shed foundation for a few feet out. This will certainly give the leveling a chance to settle in, I'll check inside it in the morning to make sure it stayed watertight.

I didn't make it up to Conroe for the IAP meeting today, wonder what kind of turnout they had? I really wanted to see the casting demo ....

It rained real hard around Noon to 1 PM, the storm drains backed up and the water went way over the curbs. The back yard drain plugged up with debris and I had to wade out and remove the strainer thing to get it to drain.

But, it let up around 2-3PM and everything went down fast.
expected more rain later bit it did not materialize.
they say sunday will be a nice day.
