I didn't see a thread for it yet, but apparently Houston is so good at flooding, we do it even when it isn't raining.1015012855_ScreenShot2020-02-27at1_32_56PM.thumb.png.5c759078d8fe254a905020471e723c8b.png

Apparently a 96" water main broke on the east side of 610 and things are thoroughly fucked. Medical center lost water, UH shut down for the day, Downtown and Midtown lost water. Local news just reported that apparently the main is now sucking in water from the channel and houses are starting to flood, etc. Good times.

i'm in medical center right now, they're closing my office down now. not sure if we will be open tomorrow, all dependent on when this shit gets fixed. may be a "work from home" day tomorrow. 

I'm also in the medical center right now and they are considering closing our building.  Problem for me is I have two candidates for a job I'm interviewing this afternoon, and I'm flying back home tonight.  Trying to figure out an alternate location to have them meet me.

Any suggestions from you Houston locals?

Move the interviews off-site.

Damnit that was my suggestion too! 

Water is out at my kids school in Montrose, the old part of the building anyway.  The "new wing" still has water.

Nothing drowns the coronavirus. I read right here on this board that it is high time for me to stock up on supplies, weaponry, ammo, rations, and penicillin because we are probably all going to die, and no amount of ship channel water can save us. My hope is that you and SydneyCarton are the first among us to go, in any event.

Is this a bad time to start a Dallas > Houston thread?

Houston may be built in a swamp and covered with concrete, but at least we aren't home to the cowboys

Do your interview like Training Day.

Drive around, drink beers and have the interviewees smoke PCP.

Whoever is willing to rob a crack dealer after all that gets the job.

ill be at minute maid around 2 

What caused the water main break?  Who's taking the collar?

Have no fear residents of the east side.  If your home was damaged by the water, your flood insurance will cover it.  Not your homeowners insurance.  That's what the news said.  lol.

Somewhere Ed Emmitt is sipping his coffee laughing this morning.  After he boiled the water of course.

News reporting that cookoff is going forward despite water issue.  LMFAO.  Like anybody is drinking water out there.

Yeah, I read Lina and Turner went out there themselves and wereseen with a jackhammer and a pick axe right before the pipe burst.  The city contractor who fucked up is just a cover up.

The pipe was 35 years old.  It would have happened under Emmitt and Buzbee.

Idk who Ed Emmitt is, but he's probably not as qualified as Ed Emmett.

Apparently, if you don't have any bottled water for the next 24 hours, and you live/work inside the Beltway, you're screwed.  Media is almost saying if you touch the water from your tap now, you'll die. 

If you ever tasted Houston water before the water main break, we already knew that....

 

Day drinking establishments are making a killing today, based on the crowds I saw while out grabbing lunch.

how many aggy will be hospitalized for even drinking bottled water today?  

fify

I knew they would but HEB was on top of this. Stopped by to pic up some water and they had pallets and pallets throughout the store they dont normally have. And the actual water aisle was constantly being stocked.
