They dispatched local police in a boat for him finally but they aren't sure of his status. Apparently his roof is also missing. He had been trying to get help since 4AM.

Gimme one source that said 60.


I saw it on one of the news stations yesterday. They actually showed a map with two areas expecting 58" and 59". They also made the comment that they had to start a new color for the map because this was unprecedented.

We were talking about in the lead up to the storm, not after it hit.

Before it hit Friday. I hadn't seen anything being reported over 40, but apparently there was some info saying 50. Nothing said 60 before Friday though.

I'm from BR but am currently in Lakeville, Minnesota

Visited a church today where they said they have rallied a group of volunteers and are hitting the road for Houston tomorrow with supplies in tow.

Think about that for a second. People who were once at war with one another and may not share the same political views today are rallying together to help their fellow citizens...
