Any updates on El Campo/Glen Flora area? Having issues getting in touch with family in the area. Wondering if cell service is interrupted or if they just didn't charge their phones last night.
Don't worry. Our consolation prize is on the way!Hubert J. Farnsworth said:
Meanwhile, in Southwest Texas.
And if it does get there, it will drop <0.25 inches of rain that will immediately evaporate and accomplish nothing besides making it more humid, without actually recharging the rivers, streams, or aquifers. So tiresome to see the whole area west of San Antonio just get skipped over for rain over and over.ABATTBQ11 said:
Guaranteed that'll die out long before it gets to where I am or it will pass north/south. Seen it dozens of times over the last 3 years.
If I could push all this rain out of the Houston area believe me I would, it rains almost every other evening some weeks, we really don't need all this rain, especially not a dam hurricane. But it's early, no telling how many more storms we will get. Anyway, I've got an inclosed stairwell in a Kemah place on the bay. gonna have to cut about 1 1/2 foot or so of sheet rock out, entire yard and stairwell plus garage got flooded, still sitting there, it won't drain. Hoping low tide at 6 pm helps,it drain out. I may head down there with my fishing rod, maybe catch a few reds in the back yard ! Not gonna sweat this .. just get er done ! Only about 150 square feet of sheet rock along 4 small walls to cut out … like a cardio workout. I'll let Pedro come fix it once it's dried outABATTBQ11 said:
Yep. Been real frustrating watching everything pass this area up. Feels like just about everything that's come through the state the last 6 months has gone from almost I10 to the Red River and couldn't drop squat on anything south of Bulverde until it passed 35.

For those *****ing about the drought, would you rather have to replace your roof, your fence, the siding on your house, and have no power for several days when it's 100F and humid as *****
Lots of crews staging at the Walmarts parking lot yesterday in Calallen.BurnetAggie99 said:
Just got off a work meeting. Austin Energy will be sending Mutual Aid crews to Houston & surrounding area to help restore power. Helping out our Centerpoint colleagues.

Drew a short straw. Tenants car. Waiting on BTU to clear a powerline before I can start cutting.
My question too. Waiting to hear back from USAA to see what they say. Tenants only have liability on the car.OnlyForNow said:
How does that work on insurance? They file against yours? Or use renters or car?

Any word from Sargent or Matagorda?
If anyone knows of someone that gets in a pinch and needs help, im free today and tomorrow. Have boats, saws, winch, recovery gear, heavy duty trailer, etc. I try to stay off roofs. 979-tw0 zer0 f0ur- o635.
