My parents were on Spirit, surely the stingiest of them all, and they are waiving all fees for cancellations or changes and waiving all price differences from now until sept. 11.CFTXAG10 said:AGeng25 said:
Both IAH and HOU closed until further notice. Originally reported IAH would only be closed through Thursday, but that is no longer the case.
I really hope these airlines are reasonable and accommodating when it comes to refunds, credits, flight changes, etc.

Heard the YMCA in copperfield will be open for donations today. Just fyi.
So a mandatory evacuation. What happens if you don't evacuate? If you have plenty of food and a 2 story house, do you really need to evacuate in Sienna Plantation?
Will you be forced to leave by the police?

I've got folks testing them now. 
If you can get to 59, which I know is out of the way some, west of Rosenberg, BQ5 said it is open all the way to Corpus. That probably helps. I am not sure how you will get on Mustang Island.....this is what the ferry causeway says:
"First Responders, Utility Companies, and Tier 1 and 2 access ONLY. Limited access to Port Aransas at this time."

You could be cut off for weeks

Good luck getting assistance if you need it.
Grab a sharpie and write your SSN on your arm.
I never heard an opening date for HOU, but I knew a couple of people who had flights scheduled into IAH before Thurs (at least until a few minutes ago).The Catfish said:10-4 -- I thought that's what they had said early yesterday. Appreciate the update. Parents are supposed to be flying out of IAH on Thursday. Looking like they may be SOL.TXTransplant said:It was announced in the last 10-20 minutes (as of 1:10 pm). Very new.The Catfish said:Hasn't this been the case for a while now? Just asking if there has been some new announcement or anything..The Wonderer said:

Saw a picture that looked like Hobby with planes under water.
Looks like a photoshop of a picture from LaGuardia from some disaster scenario they ran if the sea levels rose 25 ft. Also, way too many delta planes for Hobby. My sister sent me the same picture freaking out.

I think this is likely to get pushed back if the amount of rain that is supposed to come Wednesday/Thursday happens.
Add!cks at 104'. The second release dropped it .63 but it filled that up quickly. It should be over Barker Cypress now.

If you're there, get out. It's not worth the risk.water turkey said:

Same with me, im off Ella by McDonalds.CDUB98 said:E said:
Your street dry or flooded?
My block, dry. Near the bayou, no so much.
I drove by bayou in my neighborhood and it was ok, water in streets had receded.
Know of any food places open? All I saw was Berryhill (long line), Thomas BBQ and Papa Murphys. I picked up a pizza but they are getting low. Not surprisingly the vietnamese nail shop at 43rd is open!
For the Copperfield/Cypress folks. Kroger at Barker Cypress and Tuckerton is open and is a mad house. There have quite a lot of stuff as of 10:00 am.
And my family just went to Sprouts on 6 and 529 and said it wasn't that bad.devastor said:

The news media is trying to make themselves be the story now. It's time for them to step back a little.
Channel 2 keeping it to the news and doing a really good job on reporting the weather.
Very few reporters out looking for victims to stick mics in front of.
I agree. I normally am a 13 guy but they aren't showing any actual weather reports. Just real time rescue 911 type of crap.
I need to keep up with the weather and how to stay prepared for what's to come. Channel 2 to the rescue.
The current news director at 2 is the former, longtime ND at 13. Might have a little something to do with it.
The sheriff went door to forcing those in Sienna South to leave.water turkey said:

You get that if the pumps fail with flooding, Sienna will be Lake Sienna for weeks?
Does anyone have a good link for steps to be taken (insurance, fema, etc.) if you do flood. My parents have flooded and with the scope of what is happening I want them to have a head start on recovery. TIA
Guys, I am about to abandon my home in Fort Bend county LID 10. What else can I do before I leave? Do I turn off my power, gas, and water? I just don't know what to do
Does anyone have an update on the Camden Heights apartments, 404 Oxford street? Are the ground floor units under water?
Where at? I'm in the Wilshire neighborhood, and it is fine. But not sure how it is nearby.
