The lady on Fox 26 just reported that the lines of thunderstorms are reforming over the same areas hit earlier. Flood zones and morning traffic, START YOUR ENGINES!
storms reforming over the northeast side, already. they're thinking it's going to pick up and develop further around the area through the night. national weather center is giving a 100% chance of rain to every county in southeast texas.
Just heard that there are floods in Houston from instant news in Hong Kong. Hope that would not affect many Cluthfans in Houston. Take care.
Ahhh, I dont think it would be life-and-death but it would still be very annoying if you are going to drive to work...
Deleted. Okay, sorry Kam. I am an idiot again. Checked your other posts in this thread and I think I mis-interpreted your meaning. Well, please put me into your ignore list to avoid future embrassment again.
I was going to summer school at U of H during Allison, they shut the University down (dorms, cafeterias and all) for a week. It is worth noting that U of H, if anything, is a commuter school (ever try to schedule group project meetings with 4 students will full-time jobs, one lives in Sugarland, one Greenspoint, and one in Pasadena?), so they'll probably shut it down in consideration of students' likely flood issues. Granted, that was partly because the whole campus lost power for at least 3 or 4 days. The campus' back up generator was in a basement or on the ground floor, and it was flooded. Oddly enough, the dorm common room had it's own generator and still had power, so everyone went down there and we were watching movies and talking to each other: this was literally the only time in 4+ yrs at U of H that I ever saw a common room with more than two or three people in it, who weren't both RAs. Also, the UC Satellite (secondary student union type bldg) was shut down for at least a year or two, and I heard that Student Govt offices and whole rooms of radio/broadcast equipment in the RTV/Comunications facilites were destroyed. I remember going to Frenchy's for my 1 am fried chicken & jambalaya fix (dear god I miss college), on the way there the water was up to my ankle, but on the walk back to my dorm the water was either to my knee or my waist. Sorry for the short story, I moved away from Houston three years ago and this flood, ironically enogh, made me nostalgic. Which I'm a little ashamed to admit, because I do remember their being some fatalities related to Allison, like some lady either in or entering and elevator and being drowned by a big gush of water, and my mother was actually stranded on the roof of her car for a little while. I also remember the dueling Energy-company flood relief donations, as broadcast by Channel 13. *PS - Latest from the UH website is that classes resume on Tuesday. I guess the Summer students should be looking at first-term Finals within the next week or so, so they gotta get all those 4 hr daily lectures in (if I remember correctly). Probably have to make it up on a Friday, if they still get those off in the summer.
Okay guys and gals, here we go again. Luckily it will be more at lunch time than at 5. I am still scared to be over here in downtown.
it's been raining out on the west side for about an hour now. but not a downpour, just consistent rain.
