I left cypress yesterday to head to Austin. Roads to AVOID barker cypress and fry near 290. If you can get to 290 take hey 6 to west road and that will take you all the way to at least greenhouse.

If I get on 290 heading into town at Spring Cypress, can I exit on Highway 6 or even West? Even though I live off of Telge (North of 290), I need to get to one of our offices near Telge/West. I tried yesterday and gave up, but was afraid to get on 290.

Good news. How did you end up getting into friendswood? Family may be trying to get out of there shortly.

Thanks. I know they can get to 528 so they should be clear to get out.

Just wait until folks in the shelters start getting restless.

Sad but true. People are grieving - eventually it will lead to anger and lashing out. It's just part of the process.

EDIT: Where was that post about what to do when your house get water? What to clean, cut out, throw away, run AC unit, get a dehumidifier, dealing with FEMA, etc...???

Yep ,,, you can't have a catastrophe like this and not have basic human instincts take hold.

Somebody get Lidner a vacation package somewhere!!

That man has been unflappable through this whole ordeal.

I heard somewhere that he has water in his house maybe? If so, it would be nice to have something like the final scene in "the patriot" happen. Have him come home and find a team of folks working to help his wife get his house fixed up.

Very good at stating facts and maintaining composure.

....and now Ch 11 is showing reporters grilling Cruz over political topics.

People are still in harms way.

My Friday flight into Hobby was cancelled.

---

It was strange, on Monday, their Thurs spirit flight was cancelled. Spirit didn't have crap for friday, just one flight that was like a 12 hour journey from Hou to Den. Normally they have a nonstop, so it's obviously gone.

Anyway, so my mom just booked a Fri. AM flight SW.com, after the cancelled spirit flight. It was HOU-DEN departing at like 10am.

Then that flight was canceled last night, so she called southwest, and they said the cancellation of that flight was unrelated to Harvey. It was the only one canceled on Friday. She told my mom the only flights they were permanently canceling at that time were up through Thursday morning. Then she switched my parents to a Friday 2:20pm flight Hou-DEN.

It's obviously very much up in the air. I'm maybe 60% sure it will happen.

Maybe they are canceling more flights that are arriving to Houston than departing?

I'll be honest, I have mixed feelings about FEMA being here.

I know the area needs their resources, but I'm wary of them trying to wrestle control of the relief efforts away from the local authorities who have done pretty well so far.

She may have a better chance on united since it's hub to hub to denver. You may not want to go to IAH but may be an option is IAH opens

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.

---

Read above; maybe what the lady told my parents are for flights flying out of Houston? Flights coming into Houston might have more cancellations?

Who knows.

Beaumont, TX is now up to 46.2" of rain from #Harvey, 26" of which fell just yesterday alone. Still raining.

HCAD address is in lakes on eldridge subdivision right on the north side of Addicks.

My brother and his kids are in Dallas.. wanting to get back to Houston ASAP.. their home is off of 99 near Fry. I know it's not flooded

Can they get back to Houston? If so, best route?

This is the route that was reported to be driveable yesterday: 45S --> 190W --> 6S --> 290E.

They were initially IAH, but spirit. SW is hub to hub to DEN isn't it?

They prefer Hobby, cause they live in midtown during the week. Hobby is a way easier drive arriving on Tuesday AM.

Maybe just say he lives in lakes on eldridge subdivision, and not post the guy's address?

My apologies. I responding to "Have him come home and find a team of folks working to help his wife get his house fixed up."

File this in this strange but true category i watched The Patriot on TV last night with my boys they are finally about old enough for it (15 and 13)
For those that don't know, the neighbors all got together to rebuild Mel Gibson's home.. it was beautiful

Couple pages back. Here it is:

1) If you have not flooded yet, put pots and pans under the four legs of your table. If the water is only a few inches, the table will come through unscathed.

2) Anything in your house that's been thoroughly touched by flood water is compromised and has to go. There's no telling what was in the water and there's no amount of bleach that can make it safe enough to stay in your house.

3) Your mattress will float. Put stuff on it if you need too.

4) Triple check the measurements and quantities that the insurance adjuster has on you proof of loss.

5) On your home A/Cs:

If your outside unit (the Condenser) goes under, your insurance (hopefully you have it) is obliged to pay for replacement of it. It may still work although it's long-term usefulness is compromised. After the Condenser is completely no longer in flood water and you have electrical service, give it a try. If you can use it to dehumidify the interior of the house more quickly, do it. Set them to as low as they will go and let them eat.

6) Go through each room and take pictures, plenty of them.

7) Even if you don't flood, have your home sprayed for pests as soon as the waters recede. Bugs head for high ground just like the rest of us.

8) Don't forget to put tools up high with your valuables! You'll need them later.

9) Bring something to cut yourself out of the attic if you have to go there. Also try not to fall asleep in the attic.

10) Beware of the predators preying on your struggles. Everyone will come at you from cleaning crews to drywall contractors. Unless you are handicap or elderly, demo your house yourself. Those guys wanted to charge me $6000 for stuff I did myself. You're gonna need that 6000-9000 savings. Dehumidifiers will be hard to come by. You'll need one or two to pull all the moisture out of your house. Order them now online or be the first one in line when Home Depot or Lowes open. If you have to wait on shipments to come in, you're gonna be waiting a few weeks and it will be cheap junk. Bleach is not the best way to kill mold as it only treats the surface. Buy the good stuff made to kill mold, it soakes into the wood and lasts longer. That's all I used and I have not had one single problem.

The best advice I can give you is this. Everyday just do something. Eventually you'll see progress. It took us 8 months to get our 1500sq ft house back 100%. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

11) Don't go back home without a couple of dehumidifiers in tow.
