Anyone lose their vette yesterday/last night? The high water in Houston seems to be pretty unforgiving.

Hopefully the cars are safe and even more important, hope any forum members in that area are OK.

There were a chitload of cars underwater when I drove to work this morning... trucks underwater up to the roofs

People were in boats on the feeder roads under some of the overpasses.

Mine was sleeping soundly in the garage.

Mine's also safe in the garage in West Houston.

School's out today, so I took my daughter's Jeep to work.

Saw a few cars stranded & lots of trees/branches strewn about.
More worried about all the non-working lights & debris on the ground, which may be hazardous to my tires...

Mine was safe! Didn't even get a drop of water since it was in the garage!! But every street outside my neighborhood was flooded. I live in Sugar Land..

My house/garage were fine...but the drive to work was crazy....I-45 was a river near downtown...I-10 was closed....I hope everyone is okay...

I saw a dashcam video of a guy driving his Vette under a flooded overpass. He made it but flooded the interior of his car.

Ya 59 at Newcastle was a lake man, I kid you not like literally a lake where the road used to be.




... And it's raining again this morning. Nice.

Horsefly

Yep....grounded all the flights at hobby and I'm sitting on a plane since 6:00. Ughhhhh.

I don't live in Houston, but I've got a boat load of water around my house. We're situated about halfway up a pretty good hill, but the slope is gentle and it takes a long time for the water to work its way down to the creek at the bottom. We've had so much rain so fast it can't run off quick enough.

I saw a picture of a Porsche stuck in a pile of debris in a neighborhood on the Blanco River.

Ya I just came back from a trip to Dallas on Memorial weekend and they are just as bad off as we are, if not worse, before that last storm in Houston. Its been raining forever up there and wouldn't let up.

halfway between dallas and Houston here, vette is fine but man been in Texas since 84 and never seen it this bad, even the hurricanes didn't leave us this bad off, our barn and arenas have water just coming up out of the ground into them its so saturated, already burned up a sump pump that I have had for several years and seldom used b4 this year and had to get a new one to keep standing water at bay and we are on a slope, cant imagine how bad it is for those in the lowlands

Near Tomball here and we are fortunate not to have any real flooding problems. The road to get to work was pretty clear as well.

Almost all the lakes in the DFW area are 10 feet or more over flood stage. Meaning that almost all are releasing water to the various rivers, causing worse flooding down stream. I hear that one lake was releasing the equivalent of 100 swimming pools worth of water an hour but three times that much is coming into the lake from all the feeder rivers/streams. News this morning was that one of the many earthen dams is about to give way this morning. Not good, if it happens... One lake NW of DFW was 40+ feet below full last week and is nearly full now. Crazy.
Forecast is for at least 5 more days of storms before there is a break.

I just chose to stay at home and extend the holiday weekend by a day. Got up at 4am and turned the TV on and heard nothing but epic flooding news so I chose not to chance it.

Been in Houston 41 years now. I can tell you that the biggest rain fall events are actually the tropical storms rather than the full scale hurricanes. TS Claudette in summer of 79 stalled over SE Texas and dropped 35 inches of rain on little Alvin, Texas over a 24 hour period. I lived up Hwy 6 about 25 miles at the time. The local newscasters have all forgotten about Claudette and the epic flooding of June 1976 and just talk about TS Allison and Ike.

Here we go again....

My power has gone out over and over at least 8 times in last 30 minutes.

This is ridiculous.

...Maybe the Katrina rats will leave Texas and go back home now.

Please god we don't want them back
