That's mostly just the you-know-whos.

He's taking criticism already from Greenpoint people.
Looks like Bernie in the wannabe Prius is a professional at Cougar High.

Surely that guy was texting or distracted with something and not really paying attention to the road right? It couldn't be more obvious that he was driving into deep water and not just entering a "puddle". I am really hoping people can't be this dumb.
Air boat just came to get my across the street neighbors in 1 story. We're still watching and waiting. We're near Telge and Spring Cypress

That guy appeared to be intoxicated.
quote:That did happen to at least one person I know that flooded there Memorial Day. They took the money from insurance and are trying to sell the lot instead of tearing down house to rebuild higher.
At some point the Federal Government with their flood insurance program will require these folks that keep getting flooded out to rebuild higher. This same thing happened to my in laws after Ike, they flooded one too many times and they were required to tear down their house and build it 4 foot higher.
Can't get flood insurance without building higher.
Turner is now at Greenspoint and 50%+ are white people on camera vs earlier 90%+ were black coming out of the apartments earlier.
Well, a lot of those white people are probably the types that would drive their hybrid into high water and then not know what to do.
So in other words, Sylvester Turner supporters.

Nothing like turning this into a socio-economic debate. Thanks sly.

Seems to me that should happen after occurrence number 1.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

That's great and all, but it should be a one shot deal. You flood, flood insurance pays out, you build higher or you don't get to keep flood insurance.

Wait, you're waiting to be rescued?
My mail never came today. WTF USPS!?

It sorta works that way. If I recall, if you're home is damaged at xx% or beyond then you have to rebuild higher.
If all you have to do is replace some carpet and furniture then you're good.

I need to get to medcenter from heights area tonight, looks like I can take 610 to 59 to Kirby/greenbriar. Are those roads okay, anything around medcenter I need to avoid? Looks like I-10 to I-45 is shutdown and 288 at mcgregor as well.
I was home the entire day. I was expecting two packages so I kept checking the porch. I finally took a nap at noon. The doorbell never rang. About 3pm checked the porch again. Sitting there were two soaked boxes, one from UPS and one from USPS.
Med Center area is fine. The only thing I'd be concerned is the intersection at Shepherd and 59. That are tends to hold water.
No as we're still dry and have a 2-story. Friggin tense day with 2 little girls + wife in house.
Just talked to my brother. His house has standing water in every room. Looks like he's losing pretty much everything.

Dang. Sorry to hear. There's a lot of that going around right now.
If you get in a fender bende, you should have to total your vehicle no matter what.
Yeah, that is just as silly as your view on flooding.
There is a reason established thresholds are created, because absolutes in anything are not realistic in any real world,scenario.

Up by Westfield I think. I live in Missouri and haven't been there. He's only 22 though so he doesn't have much.
House survived. Live off Muschke in Cypress. 5 houses across the street flooded due to the creek overflowing after all the rain. The street cleared out around 11 and then flooded again without any real rain.
15 homes in a row got flooded on a street that leads to mine.
Add a number of flooded cars for people that parked in the street last night.

So, is it round two tonight/in the morning or is that only wishful newscaster thinking?
Guess all the animals in the bayou went for high ground. There have been dogs fighting outside my house for the last 2 hours.
