    Houston Flood

    We are ground zero. Our 2 acres are filled in 2 feet and water was over it and another 6 inches would have been in the house.

    Will try to post a few pictures. Cant get pictures to upload

    Hope the water recedes and doesn't get the house. Prayers sent for the entire area.

    Yeah you got the brunt of the storm it looks like. More buckets on the way unfortunately. Hope the bees are hunkered down too.

    KHOU moved to a Federal Reserve Bldg. on Allen Pkwy, Buffalo Bayou is over the banks now and their coverage is limited to a camera on an overpass near one of the bayous...can't find any other live streaming stations on the net.

    A kid I grew up with is in Galveston, can't get ahold of him.

    Lot's of tornado warnings, right now up near Conroe...

    Charlie hang in there, the bees are replaceable, only time will tell how much rain we get I-10 & I-45 are now covered in water,we evaluated from Freeport area just ahead of landfall so we are back home in Zavalla, heavy heavy rain over night and still Raining here if Toronto's don't get us,I think we are in a safe location.
    I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

    Hope you are still dry with this thing. I lived in Texas City and League City for 35 years, so I know exactly what you are going through. I think the worst one I went through was Alicia in '83. Wasn't a whole lot of water, but the wind and all the tornadoes made up for it. We had no problem getting out of there when I retired.

    Talked to my Sis (in Houston) this AM. She & hubby are OK, their street is dry (well, rainy, but drains), and all utilities are up. On far east side...

    One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
