OK, I am now a refugee in San Antonio. May be able to finally get home on Saturday to survey the damage. So far reports from my neighbors say we have some minor wind damage but no rising water. Fingers crossed that the rain continues to move east to give the pumps time to expel all the rain that as accumulated behind the levee system into the flooded Brazos River.

I don't think we have the same kind of setup they did in NOLA. I suppose there is a danger of the two reservoirs failing catastrophically, but I understand that to be a unlikely and remote danger.

The level of the bayou is dropping despite the controlled release which is great.

That's good news Steve! Hope all you guys are doing OK during this epic disaster...

It's nice of Joel Osteen to be leading the effort to keep people dry. When this is all over, they can resume shoveling him money.

Wow. The cumulative amount of rain we've had here since May, 2016 was dropped on Houston in one week. Unimaginable.

Reports say Columbia Lakes levee is breached (Brazos River).

Yes. That is unfortunate for the folks that live near it. Fortunately, it's pretty far south of Houston.

Not like NO but there are quite a few neighborhoods in Ft. Bend County that have levees protecting them from the Brazos. Pecan Grove, several neighborhoods in Sugarland and others have earthen levees. There was a rumor at one time that one of the Pecan Grove levees was failing but was just a rumor.

Damn! I just heard on the TV news the Houston area has received a continental record for rain. I sure hope the guys on this board are doing OK. Slow & rusty - how's it going??? I'd be beside myself if my cars were in serious danger of being flooded. Good luck guys !!!

Red beard now you have a PM.

This video gives everyone an idea of how terrible it is here right now:

I know redundant.....Florida Douche bag gets fired....:eek:

Wow! Some folks. And this guy is supposed to be teaching other people.

Hopefully, the stigma follows this guy for a while so he has to sweat a bit before he gets another job. Sadly, he's not likely to learn anything from this.

On a more positive note. I haven't seen it here myself (although it is brighter) these were posted by 2 different buddies onto facebook in the last hour or two.
