Being from Houston (now near Dallas, far north) I remember the flooding and chaos with hurricanes and high waters. We canoed down Braeswood Blvd (I used to live off of it, the same street as the JCC). That was 35-40 yrs ago and I doubt it is any better today, especially by the looks of it. Ironically I was born on
Sept 5, 1961...The date of the last category 4+ hurricane to hit Houston before this one. Wishing all people and animals safety in your crisis...
from wiki...
The third named storm and first Category 5 hurricane of the
1961 Atlantic hurricane season, Carla developed from an area of squally weather in the southwestern Caribbean Sea on September 3. Initially a tropical depression, it strengthened slowly while heading northwestward, and
by September 5, the system was upgraded to Tropical Storm Carla. About 24 hours later, Carla was upgraded to a hurricane.
