September 19, 20196 yr Damn, I’m watching Channel 11 and parts of Kingwood are underwater. The Sheriff is “parascoping” rescues right now. I’m not sure the “parascope” app has ever been more appropriately used.

Closer to 40 inches now, like bearschlong said, everyone who flooded in Harvey out here flooded again and lots of people that didn’t, flooded this time. I’m one of the fortunate ones that did not flood. Lots of people in need right now reliving a nightmare. We had 50 inches during Harvey but it came down over several days, most of this came down between 8pm last night and 8am this morning.
September 19, 20196 yr Sugar Land is getting pounded now. One half inch in 15 minutes and the red is only getting darker not the radar. My business partner called me from Tanglewood and suggested I go get my kids out of school before it hits, which I did and which now seems like a wise decision. I owe him a big one.
September 19, 20196 yr I think its safe to say that we should just relocate Houston somewhere near Amarillo
September 19, 20196 yr Checking in from a parking lot on Washington ave. Can’t get across I 10 to get to our kid. Wife and I swapped cars at 10 am thinking she might have to traverse some street flooding but by the time we did and I tried to get home we were already borked. So here I will sit.

September 19, 20196 yr Couldn't get out for lunch. Got into one of my freezers in the warehouse and pulled out deer sausage which are now on the grill in the warehouse. Problem solved.
September 19, 20196 yr And happened to have a cooler full of yellow bellies and Dos Equis in the back of my truck. Things are looking up.
September 19, 20196 yr 4-5 of us at the office in midtown that didn't try to leave and end up getting stuck trying to get home are about to go wait out the storm at the bar across the street. Could be worse. Edited September 19, 20196 yr by Storm the Field

September 19, 20196 yr myradar app is the best app, avail both on ios and android. allows you to view different layers including wind, cloud, and a bunch of other shit. best part, it's free.
September 19, 20196 yr Police just shut down Katy and Fry. I had an adventure to get home but I made it. Best of luck to all in Southwest Houston.

You know, other than the "total regional destruction and loss of my home" thing....I look back fondly on flood/weather days growing up in Houston. Now, our home never flooded. But we had days where we were stuck in place, that sort of thing. It was always good for making a frozen pizza, reading a book or playing a game while the TV was on in the background with the weather on, that sort of thing (I was a kid, so not much beer at the time). Those were good days. But of course, when the water reaches the front door....whole different damned ballgame. Wishing the SETX folks a lot of pizza, beer, etc....and not water at the door. Oh, and also, this is making the rounds. You know, trying to find the rainbow in the rain and whatnot: the last time it flooded like this in Houston, the Stros won the World Series.

September 19, 20196 yr Live in Kingwood work at Allen Parkway and Waugh. I got into work before the worst of it plowed through. Buffalo Bayou rose quite a bit but looks to be going back down. Should be a fun drive home.

Buffalo Bayou rose quite a bit but looks to be going back down. Should be a fun drive home. My MIL lives in the Energy Corridor and is a docent at Bayou Bend and had a shift there this morning. She's now stuck downtown and just called to ask if she could get back home via I-10 or Memorial. I told Ms CL to tell her to go find a place to drink wine and wait it out. She's not getting home anytime soon.
September 19, 20196 yr Has taken me over an hour to get from downtown to northwest mall. Lots of highway and street flooding. Will put pics up later. Both bayous are out of their banks as I crossed over.

September 19, 20196 yr Also....is it “don’t drown turn around” or “turn around don’t drown”? Wish the tv reporterettes would get this straight
September 19, 20196 yr absolutely nothing in 78705 but a few clouds. what is going on here?Storms coming in from the hill country moving SE. Of course much of it fizzles out before hitting the city because fuck you Austin. But at least the hill country/lake watersheds are getting some. That's really more important. Looks like a decent cell might make it over south/central Austin too. No expert but on radar it looks like Imelda's got a bit of a tail firing up in the afternoon heat.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

September 19, 20196 yr The rain finally stopped here a while ago. We ended up with 11 inches of rain over the last 3 days, which was pretty much within the range that was forecast for our area. I’ve had the news on and I keep hearing something that I never imagined I would hear, but the phrase “worse than Harvey” has come up often.
September 19, 20196 yr Welp, it took me 3 hours to get from Kirby/Main to the Heights. Had to go all the way south to bw8 just to get on a freeway, and then took 288 back north to i10. I10 was closed, so had to find a place to cross white oak bayou. All roads were flooded. Finally went up to 610, went east to i10, made a u turn the went 610 west to yale definitely white knuckled a lotta water. By far the most harrowing drive ive made in my 33 years on this planet
September 19, 20196 yr I assume that little red blob will disappear like a fart in the wind as soon as it gets east of bee cave.
