    Harvey is rain is bad at least it was on a Sunday where most people aren't working, importantly our powers are still on. I know for sure I'd be the stupid one going to work on a working day. I could see the freeway from my house, I could see very, very few cars. Most of us have power which allows us to know what is going on. If we had power off it would of been more devastating. Take care every1.

    I think it's chickenshit for city leaders to have downplayed the magnitude of this storm and continue to tell people to shelter in place.

    Lot of people are going to be trapped in their homes for a good few days or so seems like.

    I'm wondering about this. With that type of forecast days ago, should we have been under a voluntary evacuation order?

    Second post here looks like a spinoff of the fake news post going around Thursday. Fwiw

    ETA: Don't drive if you don't have to. There is a feed on ABC of a Sheriff having to rescue people continuously who keep driving into deep water.

    Caution>>Coffin!!

    Hey people, hope you're all safe. For anyone in Clear Lake, I'm trying to get an idea what my area is like. I live in Oakbrook West, right behind the Shipley's at El Dorado and Space Center. Also wondering what Kemah is like if anyone knows.

    Out here in Beaumont we are getting pounded pretty good. No flooding outside the house that I can see, but wouldn't want to get on the roads.

    Looks like the "hoax" post turned out to be mostly true.

    Friendswood is bad. My good friend lives there and just sent me a voicemail he got from the city a few minutes ago. It said "Black Hawk helicopters are in the area and that you should stand on your roof and await rescue. You will be taken to Ellington Field for temporary shelter."
