Where are you right now? I'm trying to figure out when we can come back from Austin
290 inbound is still underwater. That much I know. Sorry, man.
Yeah, I figured it would be at least Wednesday before I get to leave. Work has been cancelled thru Wednesday, thankfully. But we now worry about looters
Any update on condition of 42nd street between Shepherd and Sue Barnett?
Curious about flooding in general in garden oaks area? Any water in homes?
Ditto this. I have a house south of 43rd and east of Ella. Any info would be appreciated.MAS444 said:

I can go drive over there in the morning, if it'll help.
PM me your address and I'll run by and check on it for you tomorrow. I'm on 43rd between Ella and Golf
Don't have PM but if anyone can drive over when it is safe around that general area. That would be much appreciated.
Wife is hell bent on relieving co-workers at MDA tomorrow. I'll post a summary of our drive in from CS to OF.
Anyone able to go take a look at 1900 block of DuBarry? It flooded badly during Allison, wondering how it's faring this time.
I assume the rain is still steady but light?
I plan on driving the neighborhood tomorrow am as well, let me know the streets and i'll report back.
That's correct. I'm on LaMonte, and it's rain all day with no breaks, and while I think we got 7" of rain today, it's been getting lighter all day.BowSowy said:

Can this be Cottage Grove as well? I moved out of state and have my house sitting there empty...closing on it in 3 weeks. Haven't been able to get many updates on conditions.
Absolutely.
If you give me an address, I'll try to check on it tomorrow.
Not legal to drive at the moment.
Please remind me as well via PM.
Realtor by chance? There's a Supra box (or whatever they're called) out front and I'd really like someone with access to go in and check the inside, see if there is damage, and if the power is still on. My realtor is stuck in Dallas.
I'm a realtor, I can access it if you need.

That's be awesome. It's 5700 block of Petty. I'll check in tomorrow and if you're nearby and able to swing by and give it a quick check inside and out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Flying to Houston is damn near impossible for awhile and also extremely expensive.
Ok, I'll see if I can access that area tomorrow. I know parts of Ella/TC Jester streets have flooded but should be recededby then. Looks like you aren't in the 100 yr floodplane for that area too.
Just lost power on 43 rd
How'd the GOOF do last night?
Pretty sure you have that backwards - I think it's 95% HAVE power. 95% of Houston without power would be one hell of an outageThe Catfish said:
How'd the GOOF do last night? News this morning saying 95%+ of Houston without power now. Did that hit the hood?
I did - just deleted it.BowSowy said:Pretty sure you have that backwards - I think it's 95% HAVE power. 95% of Houston without power would be one hell of an outageThe Catfish said:

Did fine. Steady rain but nothing moderate or hard. I think if we've made it this far we will make it.
Would it even be possible to get from GOOF to DFW today?
Thanks to you and CDUB for the offers...my realtor made it home late last night and is checking properties today.E said:

From what was said on Channel 2, it looks like you could go up 290/Hwy 6 to Whacko, and then take I-35 into Dallas.
Longer route than normal, but you'd get there.
The rivers and creeks have I45 nad Hwy 59 flooded.
Gardenia and Glebe here. Water up to door 3x but still dry. We've seen some crazy things being on the corner. From the storm as well as people.

No doubt. There's some "not so right in the head" people in this 'hood. This poster not withstanding.
What kind of crazy things have you seen?
Not 21-year-old in college crazy, but more like "wtf is this guy doing" crazy. Kids swimming in the water on Glebe as it's flowing like a river. No parents in sight. Any of you the guys who decided to take out their canoe and capsized right in front of me?? Lol
With a 3.5 year old in the house, every bit of different counts as entertainment at this point.

I gotta admit, if I were a kid, I'd be playing in the water too.
Hell, I was walking up to knee deep in some places on Sunday.

Sounds like the hood has made out OK so far. I would think the bayou would have to take a significant turn in the wrong direction at this point for any 500 year type flood - is that accurate?
Are you on the 'hood Facebook page?
I saw a pic of a sinkhole in at the top of hte bayou wall near 43rd earlier today. If that goes, God help all of us between Rosslyn/34th/43rd.
I'm on that page but can't find that picture. Do you have a direct link to the post/pic? Gracias.
Sorry, I didn't save it it. The post is long since passed. I'd have to search for it too.
Never mind, I finally found it. It wasn't captioned so I just had to cycle through all the photos. Yikes.
Sounds good!
Anyone seen any downed trees/limbs in the streets that need to be taken care of? I'm driving around in my truck to help.
