So, is it round two tonight/in the morning or is that only wishful newscaster thinking?
It could also possibly fizzle out.

With today's news being more sensationalism and less reporting, is it beyond reason to think that the Prius driver rescue may have been staged? With the amount of coverage they gave it, I'm starting to question the whole incident.

Not sure if serious.
I thought overall the news coverage was alright. This was a major event with some pretty legit flooding, deaths, and destruction. Only until later int he day wen everything settled down did they start grasping at straws.
I found a baby raccoon stuck in my fence gate this afternoon
Poor guy probably had been there all night and day
Let him out and he hobbled off.

So that's two 500 year rain events in a years time?

Staged? Really? C'mon now. That statement is absolutely silly. People like to act like media is the bad guy, and while it's true the quality has eroded, that is not the case. Media is actually - on the local level- trying to look out for you and your interests. There is so much to report on, and so many things to pick from, we have to roll with the ones with the best content. This is a case where the reporter was in a place to get a great story at the right time.
When you help a friend clean out his flooded flat in the @&$!#%ing Heights, you know ****s got real

What happened to the video of the second chance guy that hydroplaned then went right back in? I can't see it now

I don't think it was staged...just a typical Commie liberal trying to impose his will.

That didnt happen here. That was in memphis a couple months ago.

quote:Definitely not staged. From what I've read about the professor today, he generally seems like a spacy goofball who just didn't understand how bad conditions really were on the roads. You can hear the panic in Steve's voice in the longer video where he says "God damn!" as the car drives/floats by him. I don't fault him for not going after the guy sooner. There's rescue situations that get worse with multiple people involved. Steve stepped in when he needed to. I thought the "we can hear you" comment was to the producer chirping in his earpiece, not to the guy which is what many commenters on FB and other articles took to be Steve shoving the mic in his face too quickly.

It's not any more tongue bathing then the anchors got in Austin over Halloween when the guy was stuck in the tree and called into KVUE's morning show.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
What is going on over there? I'm just across spring cypress from you and saw the news chopper at around 5:30. Our neighborhood drained into the bayous fairly quickly.
Now I hear some streets in Longwood that had receeded are flooded again.

Of course it's all based on probability, so just like getting 5 heads in a row on a coin flip, it can happen.quote:Along with crazy weather events, I think the Anti-Christ returning to earth is one of the major signs of the apocalypse, so yeah, expect to see Bud Adams back here soon.

I live in Longwood. Most, if not all of the streets, in Longwood are flooded due to the flood levels along Little Cypress Creek. Last night at around midnight, water came up into our yard over the sidewalks and drained quickly. Water started rising around 2 pm today and has continued to rise over the afternoon and evening. Water is currently over our sidewalks, but it looks like its starting to recede slowly.
There was a high water rescue of a teenager on the golf course by Cypress Creek EMS this afternoon. Some people have said that their home has over 8 inches of water in it. A lot of others have water in their street and yard like me.

Water is rising near Kluge and Huffmeister.
Does anyone know where I can find a map of elevations for my neighborhood? Does such a thing exist?
there's got to be a elevation map of (at least) the storm sewers somewhere, right?

I think Houston GIMS might have 1' contours on their website, but I can't get the website to load because of a silverlight plugin.
You can pull the FEMA flood maps pretty easily.
I'm in Lakewood Forest, down Grant Rd from Longwood. Cypress Creek runs just to the the back of our neighborhood, and our street is closest to it near Grant. We had the same issue - water receded earlier, then started rising again about 3:00 and has been slowly rising ever since, although it seems to have slowed down some. The street in front of our house is full or water although it's up to the curb and no higher. I'm not worried but I sure hope it doesn't rain any more tomorrow.
Supposed to get bad Wednesday too

casino is my dime, the rest is theirs
I'm in Longwood too, I back up to the "spillway ditch" for that huge retention lake along Huffmeister. It is about 15 feet deep and maybe 50' wide and only has about one vertical foot left before it is out of its banks. Beaver splashed it's tail at me while I was out there looking a while ago. And I had the neighborhood bald eagle drying itself out in my pine tree earlier today.
Watching the upper end of our watershed tonight with a close eye....anymore rain and a lot more homes in the area will get water.

I dunno. Water was RUSHING into the Settlement earlier today.
Shouldn't NOLA return the favor and offer to take in some our residents? Surely there are some folks that we could identify as a fair trade...
Now sprinkling and radar doesn't look good. Dammit
