This s*** just ain't stopping in League City. Keep thinking it's gonna and then it just comes back.
Cypress Creek is about to start spilling over.
This reminds me of the old Stevie Ray Vaughn song, The Sky is Pissing on Us.
They are in the South Belt/Sagemont area. It's the worst right now. They have never seen this kind of flooding in their entire lives and they are residents there for over 20 years.

For the old days:
Hurricane Prep Before Kids: Drink and watch the news until power goes out, then go to bed
Hurricane Prep After Kids: Would love a drink or five, but have to stay clear in case I have to wake up wife and kid if water starts to come into house

I believe it. Halfway up our yard in Harbour Park. I'd like to think there's no way it gets in but I'll be damned if this thing ain't living up to its billing.
Water almost into the house here in Texas City. This is really bad.
You can still have a beer dude. I've got some Meeyer Yite and wine if you need to swim down the street.Jackal99 said:

Brother's house in Friendswood starting to take on water.
I had a few at dinner. It took some stress off, but at this point, I think I'm too exhausted for a drink.
Assuming you can get a seat, IAH is still open and has had a limited amount of flights getting in. Your best bet would be to fly into Dallas then drive in.

Fly to Austin or DFW and drive.
Express was flying in crj's through some dog **** weather today.
Third Coast: I don't have any insight but I'm supposed to fly from S'Pore to Houston via Manchester Thursday but am fully expecting to take the LA or SFO flight then figure out how to get closest to home. Hopefully by then things will drain away....
Right near Friendswood High School.
Hobby Airport just tweeted out they are completed shut down right now FWIW.third coast.. said:what i mean is when does it look like the airport will be open?third coast.. said:

We're down the street from the high school and Have been able to fend it off so far. We're close to a mile south of the creek though.
Praying for all of you and your families
As a meteorologist, it's absolutely terrifying watching this event unfold. We all knew it would be bad, but I've never seen anything quite like this. Keeping y'all in my thoughts and prayers tonight - stay safe and please don't drive through the floodwaters! Cars are a death trap in flash flooding.
Ditches have drained in central spring branch and was able to pump out about 3" outta the pool. Gonna pass out for a few hours, good luck to the rest of y'all
East Side is getting absolutely hammered right now.
Prayers please.
Prayers please.
