I was home the entire day. I was expecting two packages so I kept checking the porch. I finally took a nap at noon. The doorbell never rang. About 3pm checked the porch again. Sitting there were two soaked boxes, one from UPS and one from USPS.
So there is literally ZERO chance that you slept through a doorbell??


Considering I woke up for every phone call, no.

And this isn't the first time. I will be off on a Friday and home and the doorbell is never rung, but I check at 2-3pm and sure enough there is a package.

Do you not get an email every time a package is delivered?

As a West Houston guy this article is troubling. Understand its from 2012, but if you research not much has changed from the Corps of Engineers side. Sounds as if they will start a project this year that will take 4 years to complete but being the dams were constructed in the 1940's and only an earthen dam this is scary.

Sounds as if they expect some additional street flooding around Ad****s today as its over its record (but apparently only half full). If either of those dams were to be compromised...look out.

I'm a SAHM who gets packages at least twice a week because of my husband's job. I can count on one hand how many times they've rung the doorbell or knocked in the last two years. The only time it happened with any regularity is the holiday season and it was still rare. Most of the time they drop and run. I have a motion activated camera over the front door so I know when they show up anyways. And then the delivery notifications.

They don't ring our doorbell either.

They probably don't ring the doorbell anymore because SAHM call and complain that UPS woke up their babies.

In the television realm, Channel 2 was the big loser, as their feed was down all morning, and Channel 11 probably took a slight hit from meteorologist Chita Johnson missing the Super Bowl Sunday of weather because of her bachelorette party. So, on many levels, KTRK Channel 13 was the big winner, especially considering they had the most memorable viral moment of the morning.

About 3 hours later. We have problems with our USPS person. Every week someone goes to the post office and files a complaint. They have lost 10+ packages on our street in the last three months alone. Trying to build a case to get someone fired from the post office is next to impossible.

And I'm headed home. Centerpoint is cutting power to the area to make repairs and not sure when it will be back. Naptime again this afternoon.

Oh please let there be an article or something to see people's responses.

Now I have 2 days of work to catch up on. I will enjoy the nap though. Apparently the flooding at Cypresswood/249 is causing some major issues.

Apparently Cypress Creek is bad. Flooding all along Cypresswood Dr and 249. Perrys right there on Cypresswood has 2 ft of water in it.

At what level do they shutdown 45N because of cypress creek and spring creek being too high?

Spring Creek now at 102.5 feet and still rising. Over 10 feet higher than bank

Cypress Creek at 90 feet and rising. 4 feet higher than bank

This says that 45 shuts down at 102.4 and since it is at 102.5 that should mean that 45 is down.

Edit: This is Spring Creek. Hang on.

Cypress Creek

http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/river.php?wfo=hgx&wfoid=18770&riverid=203548&pt%5B%5D=141928&allpoints=141928%2C147431%2C147603&data%5B%5D=all

This says that 45 at Cypress creek shuts down at 92.2 but it is at 89 feet and going up so 45 shouldn't be closed.
