Well, the fun is coming to an end. The rain is tapering off to a manageable amount.
At least I can look at Mia Gradney's giant cans now.

How is meyerland compared to Memorial Day?
So my flood/engineering knowledge is limited. Do retention ponds overflow or do they drain into the creeks/bayous so they overflow?
Various drain flow into retention ponds, and then they will overflow into the bayou if they get full.
However, if the bayou is full, they do nuttin' for ya.

My office doesn't close for sheisse.
I'll be headed in as soon as I think I can go and make it home safe.
I live in Willowlake (West Rd. & Belt), & my wife & I heard a low rumble in the distance for about 15-30 seconds around 3:15AM. We put all the kids in our room & ran downstairs to clear out the space underneath the stairs. It definitely was interesting from about 3-5AM.
What's the tine board dong meter reading on Darbie Douglas?
Seems like he embraces it, so I'm not sure if I should love him or hate him.

Indigo Lake in Magnolia.
You can see the boat.. that's where the dock is. There is a picnic table just beyond the closest tree.. it's completely under. That's ~3'. The big wood thing is the top of their picnic table that was on the dock.
Their house I believe is about 12' above normal lake level. That last little hill in foreground is the last ~3'.
This water has only come to this point one other time in their 15 years there, back in 07 I think? Polar opposite what those couple years of crazy drought, where the boat was on the ground, and you could walk past their retaining wall ~30'.
Looks like my dad put some flags up to keep the water from going any further

Hoe-berg is still following that poor dude through his flooded house. What a jackass.
So when should I worry? My neighbor took this about 8 I think.

Lightning just hit close by. It knocked my tv out.

Yep were in westbridge. Dicey stuff. Glad we're not across the way in old JV down at Philippine.
Veranda, are y'all still over there or did y'all bail out of JV?

I shut the office down and almost couldn't make it home. Shepherd is under water at White Oak and TC Jester isn't far behind.
It would take a lot more rain to reach your house.
Yep. Pretty loud crash here in Spring Shadows.
You've got a lot of freeboard left in that pond. At least another 1-2 acre feet, what's your approximate address?

One wolf moon! Hoeburg found himself a winner and he is riding it as far as it will take him!
Anyone got a video of that moron getting out of his car to swim and then the reporter interviews him immediately after his futile attempt to help the guy? People are so f'ing stupid
This is ridiculous with Ted O right now.
I think it's posted earlier in the thread.
Right?

So how many times will Ed E mention the Astrodome?
Aw man it's not the crazy sign language chick with uncle Ed
Damn, you beat me to it.

In theory, could she give a blowie and hold a conversation at the same time? I might be looking for an admin that can truly multitask.
I've got it on mute since BDUB is talking on the phone with her dad.
Anyone counting the mentions of the Astrodome?

Why can't he say bayou correctly?
I'm pretty sure I could slam a few beers make sh*t up with my hands like that chick
