Parents in bellaire have flooded, everyone on the street is in one persons house.

Just terrible. Refused to leave early, I think the lull yesterday caught people with pants down
My parents are in the same situation in Meyerland. There's a few 2 story houses where people are gathering - all senior citizens at their house.

What's the best way to get a rescue boat sent to them? Corner of Loch Lomond and Chimney Rock a few blocks north of Brays Bayou
Update on my parents in Meyerland:

They were able to drive to Dallas today. Woke up this morning to drivable streets after 2-3 feet in the house when they went to be at 11PM. Car was drivable - Toyota Sequoia parked in driveway took on water yesterday. They drove right down Braeswood to 610 west around to 45 at 1PM. Had some scary moments of flash flooding on 45 around Spring.

They had a boat come late yesterday but they turned it down for others to get on and made plans with the boat to return this morning but water completely receded by 7AM.

DWtf did the mining truck come from
That was awesome.

On an unrelated note, I'm never going to make assumptions about people with jacked up trucks again.

I loved how the cop didn't care where it came from and didn't care about figuring it out for the reporter, was just loading people up

They're using mining dump trucks to get evacuees.


Pic please, cause the mining trucks I am aware of are too heavy to drive on any roads.

It's an off-road dump truck. Mining trucks are much larger/heavier and wouldn't be a good idea for any ground that would be soft

Beat me to it, plus they would be way too wide and tall to try and take on city streets if they're the kind of truck I'm thinking of. Besides the weight they'd run into way too much crap overhead.

If you have an iphone go to settings, then general, then reset and reset your network settings. I had to do that when my network stopped responding. It cleared my issue right up.

Attention Houston residents. Some brave soul decided to make a website to help rescues and rescuers by simplifying the rescue process. This website is called www.houstonharveyrescue.com. It will tell you to input some basic simple information to help rescue personnel by getting the info over instead of broadcasting it over the zello walkie talkie app. We love Texas and will do what we can to help y'all. Texas was here for us before and we love our Texas folks. God bless Texas. Please share!

I haven't seen anything otherwise. The only thing I've seen so far is various municipalities saying their water is safe.

Just an aside but I recently switched from ATT to Google Project Fi for cell service and just got the following email

Channel 2 still saying that the houses to the west of the reservoirs are going to flood because of the releases. You'd think that someone would correct those idiots by now.

Coming from Cypress Creek Lakes on Tuckerton, best way to get there to drop donations off? Tried turning on Greenhouse, but high water made us turn around.

looking at OKC. anything else is a long layover. i can get in a car and start driving. wouldnt land in austin until midnight and that is on the wrong side of the rain to get down to friendswood. ive seen that people have been able to get to dallas from houston, austin not so much


This may sound stupid and most people don't have to means to, but would a helicopter or a puddle jumper plane be possible? I have no idea if possible or what it would entail. Just trying to think of anything and throwing it out there.

Is Ellington used for anything anymore? Or is scholes a possibility? My nephew made it from galveston to Dickinson. Not sure how 45 to friendswood is.

I have a simple, 7-inch graduated cylinder rain gauge we got as a gift, and we've emptied it six times since Friday morning. That is more than the official gauges close by show. We have had about 7 inches since about 11 last night.
