"Her friend was 5 or 6 cats ahead and made it through to Waugh but one car between them hesitated and stalled and that was it."
.....aaaaand that's exactly why I turned my vehicle around and drove the wrong way up the feeder to go back to my office. Even if I could make it, if the car in front of me stalled, that was it. Waited it out at the office then eventually drove home and all was kosher in the hood.

Pretty sure that was the day after the election

Thanks Dago. I do have flood insurance. I said it twice in this thread, but I genuinely do appreciate the concern.Sorry... can't read. Yup. Good for you. It is an absolute must in Houston.

That's why I have flood insurance although I have never needed it through the incredible flooding events we've already been through that I listed. If we didn't flood during Harvey, I don't think we will.
Hate. Feel free to ignore everything else I post in the future but do yourself a favor and get flood insurance. With Imelda, they're showing plenty of people who didn't flood during Harvey that are flooding now. Every storm is different. Trust me - its worth every penny.
If I remember correctly, average FEMA payout after Harvey was $4,000.00. Average Flood Insurance payout was $140,000.00.

Yikes.
Memorial Day 2015... saw 5" in one hour in our hood. About 11" that night. That was not particularly enjoyable.

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0860 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 442 PM EDT Tue Sep 17 2019 Areas affected...Upper Texas Coast Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 172041Z - 180241Z Summary...As Tropical Storm Imelda continues to slowly drift further inland, there will be an increasing threat of flash flooding into the evening hours on the Upper Texas Coast. This may include portions of the Houston Metro Area. Discussion...There are two primary areas of concern for flash flooding associated with Tropical Storm Imelda as it continues to move inland late this afternoon and into the evening. The first area would be associated with tropical rain bands to the east of the track of the center, embedded within a ribbon of persistent, enhanced moisture flux and stronger low-level flow in the eastern semi-circle of the storm. Places around Galveston Bay would be the most likely to be impacted by these rain bands. The second area would be associated with increasing coastal convergence in the coastal counties of Matagorda, Brazoria and Galveston. Winds offshore would be likely to back slightly (increasing southerly component) and remain stronger relative to over-land winds as Imelda's center moves inland. This could increase convergence closer to the coast, and coincide with a slight increase in instability as more unstable air over the Gulf gets advected just onshore. The combination of low-level convergence and instability may support increasingly organized and stronger rain bands. Overall, these expectations align with numerical model predictions of the heaviest rain falling to the east and south of the center. Given the slow motion of Imelda (likely to move only about 50 miles in 9 hours based on the official NHC forecast), organized tropical rain bands may persist in these two areas for an extended period of time, which would lead to an increasing flash flood threat. Rain rates in the stronger rain bands would be likely to reach the 2-3 in/hr range, and could exceed that if stronger instability can develop onshore and coincide with low-level forcing mechanisms mentioned above. If that occurs, rain rates into the 3-5 in/hr range could occur on an isolated basis in the strongest, most organized rain bands. Several gages in southern Harris County near the Sam Houston Tollway and I-45 have measured 1.16 inches of rain in 30 minutes (20:00 to 20:30Z), and 5-minute rain rates have been as high as 0.36 inches. This is an early indicator of very high instantaneous rain rates in the tropical rain bands, but thus far the rain bands have been relatively narrow and transient relative to stationary locations. However, if larger rain bands can become established, more substantial hourly rain rates would be likely, and this would be more likely to have notable flash flood impacts. The concern for the overnight hours is if several inches of rain from early rain bands pre-condition the ground along the Upper Texas Coast this afternoon and early this evening, and then another burst of convection develops closer to Imelda's center overnight. Convection tends to concentrate closer to the center of circulation in the overnight period of the diurnal cycle, and this could enable additional heavy rain over areas that already received heavy rainfall earlier in the day. The NHC forecast also calls for the center to move very close to Houston by 06Z, which would place a potentially favored area for nocturnal convection directly over a major metro area. This will continue to be monitored into the evening hours.

Unless your neighborhood is flooded and you can't get out which tends to happen with this garbage. That said, I do think the worst will be east. Lindner does a good job of explaining.

She's coming for her shoes.
Looks like the worst will be east of town. Sorry Vidor.

Legit threat of flooding in Houston over the next few days. Just checking in to see if Dago has a paper bag to breathe into and a ton of Xanax.
Just teasing, dude.
Please feel free to notify us the next time you personally deal with a disaster and have to comfort your kids about the trauma they've suffered so we can come here and make fun of you.
Just teasing, dude.

Not knocking life choices, we live a bit further out of downtown than I'd prefer, but it's simply bullshit that needs to be called out when realtors spew this, "Just 10 minutes from downtown." It's not, tell them how far it really is, or encourage them to look it up, or better yet---do your fucking job and if they want something 15 minutes from downtown---show them something that's 15 minutes from downtown. It ain't rocket science. I can't believe your profession is quickly being replaced by software platforms when you so clearly bring so much bullshit expertise to the table.
The funny thing is any idiot can pull up Google maps and check their BS. Its so easy.

Why move to austin if you are going to live in the suburbs? Go rural or go into town
Kids.
Town not going to happen. Yeah, I'd like it.... would love to live closer to Zilker etc but, uh, not a good value and more beyond that. Not good for us. So either Lakeway or Burbs.

Reminds me of commute times as estimated by developers and realtors. Here's an example:
"Relaxed lifestyle but still get to DT Austin in 30 minutes," - seems a tad bit optimistic.

"just about every weather model is in agreement that portions of Texas are going to get drenched over the next 96 hours." - drenched, yes. Deluge? No. There is disagreement from model to model and the one that is being discussed is the Euro. Not all are as bullish as that one. Only time will tell.

Yeah, watching the schools but it seems like the biggest impact is elementary and middle. Need to look at the list again. Good perspective, though.

Any perspectives on Shady Hollow, Shady Hollow West and Shady Hollow Estates?

Props to HenryJames and the variety of wine you drink. So many interesting wines and varieties to try in a world full of "Have you tried Meiomi?" wine drinkers.

Lots of heavy storms in Houston yesterday. Got about a quarter inch in the morning and then the big stuff rolled in...and around our house.

Man I grew up on Los Tios. Still like their cheese enchiladas.
Honestly, that's why the place is still alive. Nostalgia. Otherwise the food is ehhhh

Scrolling through the thread and I saw someone mention Los Tios.
Los Tios?
On this thread? I don't know about the new location but there's a reason they call it Gross Tios.

Wait wait wait... aside from the sheer lunacy of the post, am I seeing a Sports by Brooks???
"In October 2016, Pearlman appeared on The Chris Mannix Show. While he didn’t go into details, he did confirm the longstanding belief that mental illness may have played a role in Brooks’ disappearance."
Based on his recent posts, I'm going to say that's the case. Perfect fit for the aggy fanbase.

Just installed some St. Augustine in the backyard (replaced old dead portion of the yard) and then it rained like a mother thanks to Imelda. I sprayed some anti-fungal on Friday and may apply a bit more this week - trying to figure out (was trying to see if I could smell it) if it actually applied. Also spread some azomite on the sod. Should I just go ahead and apply some Fertilome Fall fertilizer or something from MicroLife now? What's best?
