In yalls opinion, which area(s) Houston can withstand the amount of rain that is being forecasted?

Eastern River Oaks over to Montrose. Area is relatively elevated and well drained to lower ground on all sides.
A most of West U and Southampton, the Heights (hence the name), Memorial Villages. Basically places where rich people live will be mostly ok.
Not true. In Houston, lots of rich folk in low-lying areas.


Define rich.

Actually about half of WU is a bathtub. SERIOUS worries.
Bellaire, too. We already know about parts of the Heights.

Anybody else getting messages from friends that say somebody random told them their friend on city council or flood district is saying the news isn't telling you the whole truth so people don't panic and this will be even worse than they are saying?

LIARS. Go with science. Stay cool. Your fellow Houstonians
and county officials got this. Really.
43" in Alvin, 1979. This is TEXAS, not "superstorm" yanks.
It's probably gonna suck; mostly power outages.
At least you're not in panic-stricken NY/NJ. Not them.
Hang tough. Texans.

Well hunker down for the weekend. And then hear how people bought their new home in XYZ hood, and complain about drainage or flooding, the rest of the week.

they'll demand that the city of Houston use the new drainage fee for actual drainage issue instead of as a slush fund to pay off political connections. Or whatever.

They close schools because they know that there will be huge absenteeism if they don't. Average daily attendance affects their funding, so the alternative is cancel school and make up those days later, i.e. Snow Days.

Edit: They'll say it's for student and faculty safety, logistics, support services availability, etc., but c'mon...it's funding.

My home hasn't flooded since I've been in the First Colony area, and that includes Allison, Ike, Memorial Day 2015, any of them...hoping it stays that way.

I'm not sure I want to see the 10 PM full advisory...bleah.

Me too on stupid United. I know someone posted earlier that airlines are waving change fees.....does that include sh-tty United? I would rather not wait on hold forever to find out in case someone has already asked. I could fly out of Dallas or somewhere else instead if they'd let me.

I think this looks like an extremely dangerous storm in the traditional hurricane sense. The seven day rain totals look bad, but seem fairly meaningless when you compare to something like Allison without knowing when and where it will be worst. In Allison the torrential downpour that ****ed Houston was 1 day/night. Will we get 20 inches in 24 hours? Or 20 inches over 7 days? That's two different ball games.

The email going around that talks about 50" of rain is a hoax. Disregard

Jim Spencer, our local (Austin) weather guy, just said there could be spots that get 45" of rain.

It's usually the exact opposite. They have to tell people to prepare for the worst.
