I hope all my friends and south Texas in general make it through this relatively quickly. Houston ought to be flooded by tonight.

CAT 4 when it hit land ...1 death....18+ Inches of rain here ...really nothing new for this area ...few tournades have touched down....storm is moving slow so that means tornados ...drive on...you get used to it....
 
So far so good, live in Kingwood and so far no flooding which is more than I can say for the South West side.
 
Looks like Houston is going to be flooding for days. That's a lot of people and property.
 
You can't mess with Texas. We will rebuild even better than before.
 
it has been pissing like a cow on a flat rock all day....20 inches so far and the south band wont pass through tell late tonight..
 
I foresee looting. Ppl are gonna get frustrated because they think there's not enough help and that nobody cares and their gonna act out.

It's pretty disastrous.

This isn't on a Catrina level but, it's pretty damn close.

The ymca in our town is on about a 30ft hill above the parking and water made it inside.

For visualization purposes.....

Its tough to compare to Katrina as we just don't know the scope of damage in Houston yet. I'll predict this is going to have a larger economic impact though.

For sure. Houston is the 4th biggest city in the nation, and the amount of money that goes through Houston is ridiculous. It's probably the biggest center of energy/oil in the country and a huge chunk of refinery assets are there. It's bad, you just don't hear the same amount of noise and whether that's because it's been handled better, media attention, or the results just aren't known yet I don't know.
 
The environmental/economic impact is going to be pretty crazy.

The EPA is going to be chasing their tails with this. So many oil refineries and storage facilities. I lived in Houston for a year or so when I was in the oil field and I can't imagine.



My buddy was talking about getting out his air boat..lol

Grover Cleveland on disaster relief


"I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that, though the people support the government, the government should not support the people.

The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood."

ha ha

it needs to be eliminated. at least Trump has a decent guy at the helm over at the epa. the federal government has no authority to establish an epa
 
It's still Texas on a Saturday night though. If you don't know what this is I'm sorry.

Concrete, concrete and more concrete. The solution to flooding. Seriously, i live by the san jac river and the floods Almost had me. Man can never trump nature. Harris county currently sits at 37+ deaths and counting.
