Tyger Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 We live very close to Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH for short), and a state park. So far, there has been road surface flooding, and yards are flooding. However, we stocked up and are good with water, pet food, and other supplies. The front and back yards are flooding, the back more than the front. But, we live in a double wide trailer that, due to HOA regulations, must be hurricane strapped down, on a slab, and well secured 3' off of the ground. We still have running water and power. So far, so good. If you are in its path, please take it seriously. This is about the same devastation as Tropical Storm Allison (or Depression, whatever), because the flooding has been so fast and swift. Trust me, it's bad. But we're OK!!!! Please check in if you're in its path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members H. Housewife Posted August 28, 2017 Members Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I hope the storm passes quickly sounds scary. Glad that you're stocked up and safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyger Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Still doing ok!!! There is some bad flooding at the lower part of our subdivision, but thankfully, it has a long ways to go before it reaches us. We're seeing a break in the rain for a bit, but it will come back. They're now saying that it will go away from us in a day or 2. We're able to get to the corner stores, but don't travel very far. This type of situation makes me so nervous because of insane looters, and desperate people. Thankfully, we have 5 dogs (one is part wolf), 2 pistols, a 2nd degree black belt in the house (my daughter), a very protective Momma (me), and several swords. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scubadiv1951 Posted August 29, 2017 Members Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 My wife's family live in Katy, Tex. just a short distance from the res. that the water is being released from. They decided to pack up and move to higher ground.They went to my brother in laws, step son's place, yesterday. They made it safely. But had a few stressful moments along the way. Hopefully their home and Cinco Ranch sub division will be spared. Scary and devastating situation right now. Been glued to a Houston TV. station on the internet the past 4 day's. My wife lived in Houston before we were married and we were just there during the Super Bowl in Feb. SAd to see this happen !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news makes some look worst, making it sound like it's all areas, but the local news channels are a lot more realistic and down to earth, thankfully. Of course it IS bad. It really is. My GF has been in this area for 15 years and said that she's never seen it this bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, Thinking of you also. Have several friends in the area, and not sure how they are making out. Hopefully all is well with them. A couple of the families live pretty close to the downtown area, around the Rice medical center and over close to the Astro Dome , and the NRG stadium to the South. Wish they could send a few inches of rain our way. The whole state of Montana is dry to the bone and needs rain to put out 20 forest fires they have going on right now across the state. Please send RAIN our way !!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyger Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 In the area I live in, is close to Bush Intercontinental Airport. The water has receded significantly! We went for a bike ride around the neighborhood today and last night. What a difference a few hours with no rain makes!!! We only lost power for 15 minutes, and haven't lost water at all. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
