My dad is in Kingwood. So far so good. Watching the rain north of him. If it continues to rain north of Kingwood it could get serious.

This is making me sick to my stomach. I got made fun of on fb for saying I was shocked that so many didn't leave. Its like reliving the trauma from just a year ago. This is going to be so devastating for millions of people. Utterly sickening. Ready to do whatever we can to help our Houston brethren.

I work in nursing homes ... once they had to evacuate and it was awful but staying isn't always a good choice either.

I'm sure it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation because of the health and age of the residents.

We were able to get a photo from our neighbor, but the imgur won't load into tdroppings.

You have to put the file extension at the end of the url.

Looks like this...

This will easily surpass Katrina and become the most expensive hurricane ever considering the flooding and the size of Houston. Katrina cost an estimated $108 billion.

I'm good still. Almost flooded into my place. Went down the street to see the fight and left early because of the immense downpour. Almost stalled out at one point cause I got stuck behind a dude trying to push his car. Water has gone down some this morning, raining still.
