Cross-posted from Politics board, I am so proud to be an American, a Texan, and a Houstonian right now.



I was so sick of the media narrative of divisiveness.... showing the bottom 1% of society (on all sides) and pretending that they are representative of the whole country.

The people and volunteers of Houston, TX (and everyone that came from out of town) have restored my faith in humanity, and I saw it first hand. No one cared about race, political leanings, sexual orientation, or any other meaningless difference that we may have. Humans helping humans... so much so that volunteers were being turned away in some instances.


This feeling may disappear for some of you in a couple weeks or months, but I beg you to fight it. Don't ever let the media determine how YOU feel. Republican or Democrat, Gay or Straight, Black, White, Hispanic, whatever... we are all together.

Does anybody have any hints about when Hobby may reopen for incoming flights? My sister is supposed to fly home Thursday, and is trying to figure out whether to stick to the flights or come into San Antonio and rent a car to drive over.
my parents just got a friday flight and were told flights are canceled up through Thursday morning.... so according to that, Thursday afternoon.
Hmm, because my sister's flight wasn't supposed to come in until Thursday night late, and she just got a cancellation notice from them.

It's definitely frustrating. You just have to make sure you right click and 'view image' so that only the image is showing and use that url.

Probably because people needing rescued are carrying their absolutely most valuable possessions and whatever cash they have.

The water has nothing to do with storm surge and everything to do with 40 inches of rain and Spindletop Bayou can not drain that much water. The concrete median is acting as a dam keeping the water that should be going down Spindletop from flooding Winnie even more
That is hard to believe. I wonder where on I-10 that is. That is insane.

If it is the stretch of I-10 I am thinking it is, there is very little in the way of trees other than the few you can see along the fence line. If the wind was blowing 20-30 like it was around Houston and there is a long enough fetch for the wind to blow across in an open field or down the length of the interstate, it could easily make white caps. The fetch doesn't have to be that long with 20-30 mph winds to create chop like that.

Basically mile marker 828 or so is where the videos I posted where done. The stretch right in front of the Winnie Airport. The picture that was posted where you can see the highway sign and top of the boat motor is just to the east maybe 1/2 mile. The sign is the one telling you to stay to right for Hwy 73 Port Arthur or left to Beaumont

Cross posted from the Gulf Coast Board, any information on the flooding in West Columbia?

This is where I grew up, and I still have a lot of relatives who live in and around the area. I know my sister who still lives there had mandatory evacuation and she went to a shelter in Gatesville and then onto a cousin's place in Franklin. All I've heard so far is about the levee by Columbia Lakes. Any Information would be greatly appreciated.

Hey just an fyi, we got down to Katy today in an army cargo truck. Were crashing at a national guard armory tonite....talking to the guys...they need more boats here in the Katy area. Were heading out at 7am to transport ppl being hauled out by boat. So if anyone is wondering if its too late to help? NO, they need all the boat help they can get. Were in Cinco Ranch.

We were talking about this tonight. It's a shame it took a disaster, but you can feel the togetherness of this city, and not just in the volunteers and extremely effected areas. I have talked so many friends who said they got to know their neighbors for the first time ever during the past few days.

While we were talking the neighborhood in the heights, perfect strangers just wanted to stop and talk. This sense of community is incredible and I hope it can stick to some effect.

I need to get from Katy to Cypress in the morning. I believe 99 is still flooded. How does beltway 8 look between 10 and 290? Or would I need to go all the way to 610?

Based off what I can tell from various websites it looks like things are starting to drain, bayou levels going down slowly. What does it look like from y'all's point of view?

Way to go third coast. Glad you made it. I've made that journey before. I came back in the aftermath of Ike from Singapore, but nothing like what you had to go through. Take care of your family. You are home now.

Your best bet is probably going to be to get north of Mayde creek somewhere between 99 and greenhouse road. Maybe north on Mason to clay or Morton. Then take Morton or clay to fry, north on fry to west little York, then across WLY to hwy 6 and north on hwy 6 to 290 then 290 to cypress. I am pretty sure you can't take bw8 north from 10 yet, but somebody else can correct me if I am wrong.
