Not arguing. I'm just adding info to give folks an idea of what it is like.

I was fortunate as compared to most that flooded.

I'm heading to church now. We won't change God nor mother nature's mind but we can try and we can organize to help them.

Wonder what kind of hell the mayor is going to get for basically condemning the govs calls for evacuations and telling people to sit still, it won't be that bad.


People being interviewed on ABC13 were pretty pissed.

Yes, yes it is. I've seen a lot in my life (69 and counting) but this is still bringing tears to my old eyes.

Scenes that will never leave my mind. Boating down streets like they were bayous.

And then after, just the streets lined with the ruins of countless lives.

They weren't 100% sure where there was going to be 25"+ of rain..they knew some areas were more prone.

KPRC out in friendswood, a lot of the people are saying it hasn't flooded since Alicia.

60 At levels above 60 feet major lowland flooding begins as homes above the gage begin to flood and several streets near the gage are inundated.

59.3 At levels above 59.3 the bridge at Briar Forest SW is inundated.

57 At levels above 57 feet moderate lowland flooding begins as portions of Briar Forest Drive begin to flood.

53.5 At levels above 54.5 feet garages on Arrowhead begin to flood.


Flooding in garages @ 54.5 feet and they expect it to get to 75'. Dear Lord.

Yeah, I understand they can't evacuate the entire city, just relaying the opinions of folks on the news so far.

But you don't directly contradict the gov telling people to evacuate and make plans to leave...
