    Wow! This is awesome! My community is like flooded...highest I've ever seen. A bunch of cars are stuck. Some people are worried and don't go through the very deep water...while others just go through it..and others are so impatient. So fun! Of course..I hope everyone is OK. Some people are smiling and laughing while others are serious and don't want to get their car screwed..

    Yeah, several people at my work are taking off in their trucks and SUV's and just laughing their asses off. I'm stuck here in my freaking civic. It better not start raining again or I'll be here all night. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Well I just got home from school 45 minutes later than I usually do...

    My area is sort of hilly with slopes...so some areas are very flooded...and others are fine! It was pouring! First time I've ever seen something like this in my life....so sort of fun.

    I have serious reservations about my ability to drive out of my office building tonight. A nearby creek has flooded over onto the streets surrounding my office. Things ain't lookin' so hot right about now.

    I'm happy most of our duplex is on the second floor. If our place flooded, it'd only be the area where we have the cat piss smell problem. :)

    I think he means the service roads where the Katy and Beltway cross. It always floods.

    This is reminding me of Tropical Storm Allison:

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll go another way now.

    The company might frown upon that during working hours. :)

    The feeder roads along the west sam houston beltway were also flooded.

    That sucked ass.


    It seems to rain like this every two years.

    There is this school bus that has been out there for over 70 minutes. It just sits there. I don't know if it can move, or that it just doesn't want to move. There is a car that is parked right in the middle of the intersection. That lady is dumb. I parked at a neighbors house and walked home. I had to walk all the way around the culdesac, just to get home on the other side of the driveway. That sucked.


    There were some kids playing in the water. How disgusting. Why are kids dumb enough to swim, and play in it? This one kid dipped his entire body in the water. Right in the middle of the intersection, the water is probably 18 inches high, maybe 24-28 inches high. I didn't feel like guessing.


    I have to work later tonight as six. I have to be there today, for sure tool That sucks.

    It's days like today where my luxury SUV comes in very handy. From high atop my perch behind the wheel, I scoff at the more fuel efficient, yet lower sedans and coupes which must sit and wait as I traverse the perilous waterways of Houston.

    Got any hot co-workers you can hang with all night?
    I expect a full report in the morning.
