third coast- had a similar situation once and took a cab from the airport to a uhaul rental store. Rented a pickup from them and got where I needed to go. It will cost more but might be an option.

To be fair, it wasn't just CNN. I watched a khou guy sticking a microphone in the face of a mom holding a baby and it obviously scared the baby and he started crying. Reporter just kept on.

Nothing wrong with the interview. The person could have refused to talk befor hand. But I will say I enjoyed her doing that to CNN.

We are riding it out in Bayou Vista just outside of the Galveston Causeway. Water came up very high but Bayou Vista is OK for the most part. I might be over optimistic but I think we are seeing the backside of Harvey right now. Sky is much brighter than it has been and the water is a starting to recede. We have power and supplies so anyone in need is welcome .
You have another round of rain building just off the coast, the circulation is trying to wrap it around to the bay.
Rooting for you, but unfortunately looks like a good chance of more rain.

Oof. Latest models show another system developing in the Gulf and coming north to Texas (read: more rain). Plus that other disturbance in the Atlantic.
And the 5-day forecast rain totals starting Saturday morning (9/2).
Can anyone comment on that storm headed to the gulf? Is this a mirror image of where Harvey was - anything else to add?
My apologies, doing the zulu math on the dates wrong. Unfortunately, it looks like the Euro (computer model) shows a developed tropical storm in the Bay of Campeche come Monday morning (9/4).
I'm with her! I think it's ridiculous how these reporters go up to these people and ask such stupid mundane questions during time of major distress... What was it like? Can you tell me how you feel? Have you ever witnessed this much rain? Are your shoes wet!??!??Jock 07 said:

Somewhat humorous anecdote from a friend in Houston:
Quote:
Candelaris is open and an absolute mad house. For a while they ran out of pizza boxes so they were just giving people the big metal trays just asking them to please bring them back. Then they got extra boxes from Cici's somehow so we have a candelari's king Mike in a cici's box
Have you checked with Enterprise in DFW?Quote:

His last post made it sound like there was just a miscommunication and maybe his car will be available. Unclear for now.
Alicias on Cypress Rosehill and 290 is open; great fajitas and the margarita machine is working

Status on Addicks and Barker? Barker flood gauge is broken at 100'. Addicks is over the top at the spillway but not sure how far along the top that extends.

Turner has been good through this
He is excelling at this press conference
The whole group has good. Conferences have been very well managed.

Agreed. I'm proud of how my city has handled this.
Bill King has an op ed in the NYT defending Mayor Turner and the decision to not evacuate. Well done considering their election history
Anyone looking to get to town for any reason, I was able to drive in from Hempstead on 290, 99N, 249, BW8, 290, 610S, and then to 59N.
The "spillway" that is flowing isn't over the top, but around the end at the north end of the levee.AlaskanAg99 said:

How far north did you go on 59?
This KHOU report at Lakewood is a bit dramatic...
Only a mile or so, to Buffalo Speedway exit.
