How are the other hospitals faring?


Anderson is taking on water on the first floor and the streets around had a couple of feet of water (ETA: or more) as of earlier this morning.

To add... all it takes is one rain band to set up shop over any area in SE Louisiana to cause major flooding.

NAM predicted rain totals for the next 3 days, not including what has already fallen. Another 24+ inches in the Houston area would be the definition of catastrophic, and then you have to worry about the potential in SE LA and NO additionally. If this comes to pass it'll set a new precedent for single storm rainfall totals, I just can't imagine.

I think my entire parking garage is flooded out. And I'm in a place that is dryish.

Curious to see how the comprehensive payouts will be done, if they actually end up honoring commitments, and if so, whether any insurers go under (or if they are bailed out).

I've been away from my phone. Looking for updates.

How's Rockport, Houston, Austin? Is Dallas in any trouble? I have family in Houston and haven't heard anything. Is this on the level of flooding from August in br? Is it worse. TIA

Slack I work in a nh. Some of them have NO FREAKING CLUE EVER about what is going on. We have one man who ALWAYS is saying that his feet are wet (when he has socks/shoes on) or snakes on him. Being oblivious can be a great thing.

Yeah, we're watching a once in a lifetime event (hopefully) unfold.
