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

That dude on ABC just saved that old man's life.

He was in complete shock and locked up. If he wasn't there to talk him through it, he would have gone down with his car.

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.

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
Allison was much more widespread across the city. This one is not done yet, but it would take a lot more to approach that.

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.

How many patrol cars do you think it would take to do this at every flooded road? How many officers are stuck at home like everyone else?
Enough to block major areas, close to freeways, no? Perhaps not patrol cars, but one could hope emergency mngt could do something.

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.

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.
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!

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.

Is that saying it is predicting to break the record crest of the Bayou by more than 5 feet? Seriously? Holy ****!

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?

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?
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.

Texas badly needs their version of the "Stupid Motorist Law" that AZ has.
