Has totally sucked. Streets surrounding us were knee to waist deep water and endless amounts of tornado warnings requiring us to take shelter, so the kids just parked it in the downstairs hall. Lost power at 4am.
Didn't flood our house but we're expecting a lot more rain tonight and tomorrow. Sucks. Last edited by Thromdog; 08-28-2017 at 02:08 PM.

Flooding
That sucks, Jeff. Hope it lightens up.
We've had the nonstop rain and tornado warnings, but the streets are ok. Keeping an eye on the tiny creek behind my house that sounds like Niagara Falls. School is cancelled into next week for my two kids. Possible Lord of the Flies situation.

I live in the area and it sucks right now. Bad. Luckily there are a lot of fishermen in the area and people have been very helpful with their boats. There were a lot of boat rescues today. I've got a stranded family of five at my house right now. They left their house with the kids, the dog, and a duffle bag of wet clothes. I hate seeing anyone in such distress, but it feels good to pitch in and help out. Luckily we don't have any water in my house as of now so at least we're dry and we've got power. Also a bit lucky, they don't drink Bud Light so my storm supply is looking strong. Could be worse.

Pathetic that you would mock a group of people who were probably scared out of their minds. Idiot.

You're right David, idiot is too soft.
I am happy the group was rescued, saw it on the news this morning. However, for that picture to be mocked is absolutely pathetic.

As a resident of Katy, TX (west Houston) we experienced non-stop rain fall like you could not imagine. I am fortunate to live just far enough west of the Addicks Reservoir to have escaped the flood waters. Although the rain has stopped, thousands of homes are currently being flooded by two reservoirs located in Katy/West Houston. This is a result of excess rain waters still filling the reservoirs from upstream, their levees overflowing and flood waters being released from the reservoirs by the Army Corp of Engineers. There are thousands of families across Texas that lost everything and donations of any amount to the American Red Cross would be greatly appreciated. FYI; That distasteful photo is an actual photo taken of residents in a nursing home in Dickinson, TX. The entire town of Dickinson was evacuated in order to escape the flood waters. Thanks for all the prayers and concerns for the residents in Texas.

Scott,
Glad to hear you're in the clear and I think it goes without saying that the whole country at this point is thinking of all the people down there. I know that picture and the nursing home story went viral, was a huge topic on the local news here in Mass. Can only hope for a quick recovery.

I was away at my trailer from Thursday until Sunday and never heard anything about this until I arrived home Sunday evening.
 Like has been said, I hope everyone gets through this as painless and as quickly as possible. Stay safe, stay away from downed hydro lines and let the pro's/trained people do their job. Good luck to everyone!
