So, if it stops raining Wednesday- what's the time frame for the water to go back down? I guess I'm asking when people will be able to go back home. I have family and friends from all over Houston that are stuck outside town.

The entire Texas national guard has been activated. Roughly 12,000 troops not on a combat rotation.

They are going to have to search 100,000s of homes door to door.jabberwalkie09 said:Irish_Man said:

Yep. The grocery store thing is going to start becoming a huge issue for many shortly. If the rain keeps up and the flooding does not recede and the city remains crippled, food will start to become an issue for many people.GunRangeGal said:
My friend lives in Midtown and just realized she needs groceries, but can't get anywhere/stores are closed. I'm shocked at how many people still don't understand the scope of this.
I grew up there as well.Quote:

The front of the neighborhood is dry for now.
The houses in the back by the bayou are not so lucky.
I've been following the Facebook group and the neighborhood seems to be taking care of their own pretty well.

I am trapped in our bugout ranch (not ours, a friend that had a guest house and barn for the horses. We are incredibly lucky to both have friends like that and to have called them so early to get not only first dibs but also get In before the creek blocked it). Should be safe but who the hell knows with this disaster. The creek is over the bridge. 1093, 10, 1489, all have deep water over as well, and the brazos river isn't even over bank yet. This is all just rain.
We could not save all the cows and can't get back to do anything, even turn off the generator. It's going to run through 750 gallons of propane until it water locks or the house burns.
Many of our friends are now having to evacuate their bugout spots and some are trapped in them like us. Still raining sideways. This is unreal.
Good luck everyone.
If you want to help with rescue efforts, request assistance from them or just listen in, download the Zello app and search for The Cajun Navy (Texas Navy has a channel as well as a few others). This is one tool they are using to communicate and dispatch.TommyGun said:
About 30 Louisiana Game Wardens and other members of the Cajun Navy just showed up in Baytown about an hour ago to help with evacuations. My childhood neighborhood of Pinehurst is almost completely under water and efforts are largely being concentrated there to get those folks out. Friend of mine posted a video with the whole line of trucks heading in with various airboats and surface drives in tow. Lot's of good folks have lost a lot in this storm but there is also a lot good folks responding. I'm hoping the roads are passable by Friday so I can get down and help out with the clean-up efforts.

I don't predict. Just report what I see from actual metx folks.
The nuke is my suggested solution though.
Even if it doesn't work I might feel better.dlance said:carpe vinum said:

Nuking seems a bit drastic at this point. However, a bucket brigade stretched across Texas to the west where the dry spots are would give all of us a way to help Houston and the surrounding areas....
I love that this is in the FAQs on the NOAA website.dlance said:carpe vinum said:

You need help getting out? Surely someone in the general area can get a boat in there using roads as guides.
