You are posting in a political forum. But as I amended my last post to say, maybe it was just a personal opinion not intended to be a political jab. If so, then I acknowledge my mistake.
It was a weather thread so i posted. I hated Bush 2 and Obamabutt so much i have no use for the gov or how our system works. We are going downhill fast jill.
Her and her sister are together. Just saw on the news that the neighborhood near her got hit really hard.
She's Texas tough, she's not intimidated by anything.
Yes, parts of Houston are flooded, but for the most part, we're ok. The worst, supposededly, is yet to come.
LOL at Texas tough. Good for her - and it's good she's not alone.
I would be worrying like hell if I ever experienced a hurricane, not having grown up in a coastal state. I know some folks say the same about major snowfalls and tornadoes, but this seems like torture that just goes on for days with people having nothing to do but wonder how bad it will get.
Well, please keep checking in (not that you're going anywhere...lol) so we know what's going on.
I am seeing few reports of damage, a couple street signs down, some power lines but that is all CNN can find, it seems. No flooding of consequence. It's coming, it's coming! Sure it is. This looks like another weather event over-hyped by the media.

I don't know Houston, but I have been looking at a NWS hydrograph prediction for Buffalo Bayou that has a max stage of 64.8 feet on Wednesday. This would break the previous record by nearly 4 feet.
We had 7" of rainfall in a short span of time last month and they called it a storm of epic proportions. Flooding everywhere. It was declared a disaster area.
I can't imagine getting the kind of rain you're talking about with this.
Pull up the list of past hurricanes in wiki and you'll see some that dumped 48 inches in 24 hours.
One of the worst to hit the SC\VA part of the east coast came in on the heels of prior heavy rains and absolutely blasted the area with 1 in 1000 year level flooding.
P.S. I lived in the Chicago burbs (west) during the 1995 flood. Rainfall was 17-24 inches from Naperville inward. We lived on top of a hill and couldn't get out of our neighborhood due to many feet of water blocking all the low spots.

Yeah, I can't imagine living through a hurricane and that kind of rainfall. We only got hit with a 1 in 200 year storm last month and Lake County was a mess for days.
I don't recall that specific flood, but it's possible it wasn't as bad up north. We seem to miss a lot in the way of flooding and tornadoes that hit DuPage County.

I hope you are right but I think that a lot of rainfall is yet to come and a lot of people have died in the past venturing out after the worst of the storm has subsided only to get caught in rising waters.
Funny how the neighboring house wasn't damaged. Maybe a tornado or perhaps someone didn't follow the building codes.
