    Sugar Land has been good with the disasters. *knocks on wood* My parents have waited out many storms with barely even an outage in power. I hope the streak continues.

    That's your fault for not being a CFnet member by then. The Rita thread would have helped you.

    Clearly the most important thing of the storm. After tonight, Harold, do your worst!

    LOL that's fair. I'm not sure it would have helped much though given that I was trying to head to a party in San Antonio, not truly evacuating. Perhaps I would have seen that the roads were already clogged though, I thought I was clever by leaving in the middle of the night....just like millions of others.

    I am starting to get concerned. My house, in Katy, rests against a retention pond and it is very high after last night and it just started raining heavily again.

    Absolutely. I'm not saying this at all to brag, but there was some member who I recommended that he take Kuykendahl from where he was in FM 1960 all the way to the Woodlands, then 1488 over to 290. He told me he got to Austin in under 4 hours.

    And the irony is that when I moved back to Houston last year, I moved to the Alden Bridge section of The Woodlands, so now that road is a quarter-mile from my house. So, if the **** hits the fan, it's Kuykendahl, 1488, 290. Provided it's not flooded, of course.

    I agree with you and what's crazy is there's more to come.

    Damn. The dry slot has filled in again and another round of rain.

    Yeah Google Maps/Waze is way too smart for that now. Location based services would ensure that route would be equally as congested.

    If it keeps up at this pace, we are in trouble.
