KHOU is reporting this will be as bad or worse than Allison.

I wouldn't discount it just yet
And while Channel 13 has live water rescues, Channel 11 is missing there #1 weather girl to bachelorette party induced hangover, and Channel 2 is completely down.

Anybody know what Whataburgers are open? Feeling like a taquito run.
Seabrook. Just started raining here.

Dude displayed terrible form in his attempt at the freestyle stroke. Keep face DOWN. Breathe to the SIDE. Reach WAY out, and then SPOON the water with your hands.
Geez, I've seen 6-year old doing better at their first swim lessons.
Steve Campion, the hero Houston deserves, but not the one it needs.
At this point that is speculation at best not reporting
Steve-O just got himself noticed for sure. Expect to see that on national news later.
I read somewhere that cypress creek at Katy hockley is higher than its ever been.
They just replayed the clip. The guy was completely dazed, I'm honestly not sure he wasn't drunk or high on some kind of drugs.

Some totals are approaching Allison levels aren't they? And we're not done yet.
Not a ridiculous statement
Has anyone else noticed that the Rockets getting blown out by the Warriors is the one common denominator in this event and the Memorial Day flooding.
If they miss the playoffs this doesn't happen.

Because days like these are own little version of The Purge.
I just about wrangled the family around 3:45 near JV when there was a big hook on radar and we got the tornado warning alert on iPhone, it was rockin balls last night

How about people just quit being idiots. The good this is that once there are a couple floating around, others will see not to drive in it and city resources are saved.
quote:Thank you for the polite reply. Most people who have lived here for a long time know the areas that flood the most. Fortunately or unfortunately we have had a lot of new people that have moved here and don't know this. Stay safe!
They'll put up barriers, but it takes time. I'd bet everything is blocked later this morning or early afternoon.
There's no easy way to do it overnight due to the rapidly changing conditions, low staff levels, and bad visibility of conditions.
Buffalo Bayou overflowing at Milam, apparently:

We beat them that night
Can I flag this as truth?
Briarforest at dairy Ashford is bad. Keep going west gets worse. Westheimer at Eldridge under water too.

Who is going to be the first person to throw on the RTT bat signal asking the city to do something about their car that flooded while parked in the street?

Buffalo Bayou at Shepherd is climbing a foot every 15 min
He was so out of it/shocked he didn't realize he could have walked to safety.
We live near Richmond and Shepherd and the water is up in the yards. cars parked in the street are toast.
Really curious where all the trash cans went. I suspect our entire neighborhood will be collecting trash bins from Freebirds parking lot later.

quote:I saw cans floating all over the place on my street. I live on a cul-de-sac. I think I'm on the higher end of the street. I got really lucky so far. It crept up slightly into my front yard. A number of homes on my street flooded and anyone that parked in the street will be needing to purchase a new car.

I ran to me neighbors house two doors down. 15 minutes later and his truck would have been done for.
Yeah, not sure how they do their predictions. Is that just based on upstream runoff or does that take into account future rain forecasts?
quote:That's actually the right thing to do when you get water that high outside of a car - you sit and let the interior fill up so that the pressure equalizes. Then you can open the door with little effort.quote:
only a few seconds later that car was completely underwater
How does that happen? I've always wondered. So he tried to go through the water when it was 3-4' high I am assuming. Realized his car was toast. And then he just decided to chill in his car while the waters build?
Texas badly needs their version of the "Stupid Motorist Law" that AZ has.
