Re: Attention all Texans..

I was in San Antonio just last week and it was 89 one day, the next day it was 55. -___- North Texas had pretty bad tornadoes and storms too. I got caught in one thunderstorm. It was blinding rain and flooded roads. Kept diving like a boss though. Ok no, Mr. Theorist had to come rescue me. I was bicycling in the neighborhood and saw some blown apart fences and fallen tree branches. No one got hurt as far as I know around here. Houston looks really bad though. I know we have overflowing lakes right now in North Texas and we are being warned not to go there.

Re: Attention all Texans..

It was a rough night here in Houston. Got about 11 inches worth of rain in 6-7 hours. Everything is good though. Came to work in the morning.

Re: Attention all Texans..

That roller coaster ride in temp was faced by north-east as well.. It was pretty aweful as it went in 80s and next night it went to 44

Re: Attention all Texans..

Likewise. Rained like crazy since yesterday evening and throughout the night. Woke up this morning to all the flood news. Hubby made it to work fine by 7:00. My work delayed opening until 10. I got there at 10:30 but part of the highway was blocked due to flooding. While driving through the feeder detour, I saw several cars completely under water in the highway.

My heart goes out to all the people whose homes got destroyed and to the ones who died. :frowning:

Re: Attention all Texans..

Didn’t flood much in my neighborhood. And I made it to work on time. No high waters on the way. That said, tomorrow was supposed to be my day off work, however, I’m being forced to come in :frowning: because of the damage done by the weather. Hopefully I won’t need my rain boots tomorrow.

Re: Attention all Texans..

They are talking about more rains continue to fall this week. Especially in northern texas

Re: Attention all Texans..

Dallas area has been crazy pretty much all month. We haven’t had the extent of what Houston suffered, but our area lakes (one which is about 5 miles away from my neighborhood) is cresting with the parks and hold course already under…there are condos at risk of being flooded if
this doesn’t stop. :frowning:

Most of the parks in my neighborhood are swamps right now lol and there have been a few road closures

Re: Attention all Texans..

Are things getting any better now? :frowning:

Re: Attention all Texans..

Its better here in Houston. Out of the 44 streets that were underwater there are only 10 now.

Good to know you are doing good, brother!

Re: Attention all Texans..

Thanks sir jee.

Re: Attention all Texans..

6" of rain fell overnight…in a matter of a couple of hours. We lost power but it’s back now. Lots of road closures. I’ve been up since 3:00 am, couldn’t sleep at all through all that…it’s going to be a rough day :vivo:

Re: Attention all Texans..

Stay safe and tell everyone you know to turn around as soon as they see water on the road!

Re: Attention all Texans..

Reports of more rain and motorists getting stranded in Dallas. Stay safe, guys!
