Some places feet possible. Have fun! Called it. Well NWS did. They have nailed the tropical systems this year. I was in Houston by Rice for a wedding and it rained 8 inches south of downtown. North of there maybe got an inch. Quite a few folks missed the wedding. If I didn't have an SUV I would have drowned it. Tons of cars stuck and several folks died. Good luck to those folks.

It was a mess picking the kid up from school. I took side roads to get back home. It was exciting taking her through the flooded roads. Everybody gives me a hard time for having a tall truck but who's laughing now.

Gotta love the brilliant minds running CCIiSD. Their awesome weather people told them at 3AM everything would be fine today and they should go ahead and have school according to schedule. By 10AM they had cancelled all after school activities and by 11 were sending everyone home early. Friggin idiots. Everyone in Houston knew the storm was going to loop back around and then head back south. But nooooo, CCiSD has to get their attendance $$$$’s
Thanks, Rich

Kid just died trying to save his horse from the floodwaters. And NWS called this band of heavy rain last night. Impressive forcasting.

Hasn't rained a drop since around 1700 but the yard is filling up from the bayou. I'm monitoring it.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Water against the house has come up 3" since 2am, it's 6.25" now. Eight more inches and It'll be in the house.

Wishing you all the best. The bayous should be receding shortly.

As soon as they rebuild down there they have to start over it seems. Good luck! We moved in here in January but it isn't the house we are building. That house will be about 5ft higher than this one. Water has gone down 3/4" since noon.
