Figured I'd post this here, it's where you'd look for me. First, thanks very much for the concern (I had no idea), it's appreciated.  I mean, really?  Wow, that's been surprising. Second, I'm fi

is the excessive rain this year being triggered from the ash rising to the atmosphere from the concentration camps on our border?  Like volcanoes creating storms when the erupt?

So after my company started sending people home, a coworker of mine who takes the metro in from cypress left to catch the bus. He got to the NW transit center at 610 and old Katy road and they decided

It's supposed to weaken before it gets here, but all of that rain is "sagging" south into Harris County and points south. When I woke up this morning the news was all in Conroe and Liberty and Winnie. Now they're talking about Spring, Humble, and Baytown. 

Very similar to Allison. First day was bad, everyone thought it was mostly over, then BOOM two days later the worst occurs.

Yeah, I thought we were pretty much done with the rain yesterday. It’s raining harder now than it did the last two days. As of last night I had dumped 6 inches of rain out of the gauge. We are already close to 4 inches of rain this morning and it didn’t start raining until about 7:30 or 8:00.

Hire it out.  $30 per mow and it's worth every penny.

 

And the water has risen about 3 feet since I posted that picture. The rainfall rates are very Harveyesque this morning. It’s still nothing like the unfortunate people near Beaumont, but there will be some houses flooded in The Woodlands and Spring today.

I take it you’re working from home today too Hate? I live a couple of blocks from Hate, same subdivision. Fun times here but nothing like east of here. As he’s said, we’ve gotten lucky to be just on the periphery of this whole event. If this thing had come up a few miles west of where it actually did it would have sucked. As it is, the eye, or what passes for an eye with this storm, went directly over the top of our subdivision. Everyone stay safe out there.

“Nice to finally be in the bullseye”

 

lol... tell that to the poor bastards who have gotten over 40 inches in the past 24 hours.

 

Looks like its not gonna let up for another day or so to the East. Beaumont and Winnie are absolutely toast

 

also, is it just me, or did the storm move back to the south?

My company is sending people home because of the flooding. We are downtown but many folks live in kingwood or north. They are offering hotel rooms for people who can not get home (parts of kingwood). Not sure if I will leave as I live in NW Houston and it looks ok up there (and we didn’t flood in Harvey).

Sure as hell isn't coming north.

I think it’s @Pancho that’s in the Lake Houston area?  That area has been getting hammered for hours.

Yup. I’m stuck at a gas station at West Lake Houston and Will Clayton. Been here about an hour and a half. Lightning struck 50ft in front of me. Got lots of videos of idiots driving, but not sure how to post them.

its like Harvey flooding over here. Not sure I’ll get home anytime soon

Damn.  Hang in there.  The heavy stuff is starting to fall here in 2nd Ward, but nothing like what’s been going on up there.

Good gas station or bad one?  I mean, do they have a good roller dog and/or a Chester's?  I'd just leave it in park and hang out and eat in the dry.

You need to head to Iguana Joe's and start pounding margaritas.  There are a few hotels nearby as well.  You need to look at this as an opportunity.

SIAP, but did we ever come to a consensus as to the best radar website that doesn't take a subscription?  I'll hang up and listen.

Just got word from my cousin that my aunt and uncle flooded. . .they did not flood during Harvey.

And everyone that did flood during Harvey that I know of flooded again.

Bear, I use the NOAA weather app on my iPhone. I assume they have one for those with Android as well. It’s a paid app to get the full features. Think I paid $3 or $4 for it. I travel for work about 35 weeks a year and it is fantastic. Has been on top of every bad storm I’ve been through.
