pineda Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Just wondering how all of our illustrious posters on this forum are holding up in different parts of town with all this (much needed) rain...I think it's been pouring hard here in Spring since last night and it shows no signs of slowing up. How is everyone else doing with the deluge today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I had an enjoyable drive on TC Jester yesterday. White Oak Bayou looked like white water rapids in the mountains.After three years here, I've learned what floods and doesn't and make my plans accordingly.

Subdude Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Wednesday I was on the Southwest Freeway when part of it flooded. Two hours from I-10/Dairy Ashford to Hobby! Grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YakuzaIce Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I didn't get caught in much water yesterday. But I heard that downtown got hit hard. Supposedly manhole covers were practically coming off and I think the train was shut down right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 yeah, the train gets shut down when a half inch of water gets on the rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Easy money, but waiting for the bus in the rain is a drag.I drove in today with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbaNerd Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Not much flooding down here in the SugarLand area. Just tons and tons of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houstonian in Iraq Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Ahhhh good ole rain. Don't get any here. All we get is a 120 + degree heat. The closest thing we have to an overcast is when a dust storm hits us. Yeah the dust gets in and on everything but it knocks off a good 5 degrees or so off our high temp. Here is a picture of one of my guys inside during a dust storm. The picture was taken about 5 feet away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Looking out my window now, I see Buffalo Bayou is about five feet from the banks behind Hobby Center. One more round of storms and look out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirzania Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Thank you for being there for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Big Ditto! here. Too. Many thanks, HII. Btw, does "training" in New Joisey involve driving in traffic and surviving a night in Asbury Park? (Sorry for off-topic, I just have to know...) They said it was bad in downtown when I left Thursday afternoon at three from Greenway, but I didn't hit anything bad except a flashing red light at Dallas and some smaller side street. And I did manage to creep through a 2 inch deep puddle on northbound 59, just before the Main St. exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Last Sunday, I was trying to keep the grass in my yard from dying.Today, I walk out to get the paper and find 4 inch wide mushrooms growing in the front yard.Gotta love Houston weather.

Heights2Bastrop Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Love all the rain, but I got a small taste of things to come. I grilled hamburgers last night and I was swarmed by an army of small mosquitoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHome Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 You know the way Holland keeps out the ocean? We should start investing in something like that along with some major pumps now. We are sinking as fast as we are covering the dirt with concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
