Really? ABC just said they were worried about the storms continuous band formation and that they are predicting an additional 25 inches.
Feels like, at least here in The Woodlands, we've gotten way more rain today than yesterday. It has not let up at all since last night and is coming in harder now than most of the rest of the day. My pool has never overflown before (at least in the 2 years I've been in this house) and it is now. The usual places in the area are flooded (Timberlakes/Timberridge, Hughes Landing, areas close to Spring Creek) and anything more is just going to make a horrible situation much worse.
That's what Dr. Frank said at 4 PM. He showed how the system is already sucking in the dry area and hopeful that the dry area will win.
I think I remembered that way out at the time b/c when I lived in Houston in the 1990s, I was pissed about the traffic going into the Woodlands Pavilion on I-45, so I looked for a better route on ... yes, a paper map.
Yep, I'm in Alden Bridge and I've got ponds all around my yard- but nothing to the house yet. We've been doing exterior improvements over the past 2 months and I have about 24 bags of top soil, 15 bags of sand, and about 10-12 bags of pebbles in my back yard. So, in a pinch, I can use those to block out the worst. In other words.... I can build that wall.
Our neighborhood in Simonton near Fulshear had a mandatory evacuation. Rain rain rain all day but the problem is the Brazos will soon crest and flood us out. During the Memorial Day flood it got up to the steps. Likely it will make it all the way inside this time. Staying at a hotel near Katy Mills Mall for the week. Hoping the house somehow makes it through. We moved everything we could to the top floor. Sigh. Be safe everyone.
At this point, any amount of rain in Houston is just overkill. The water is already creeping up on my house, it's above the sidewalk now and it hasn't stopped raining for me.
