More than a foot of rain in some places flooded low-lying areas across the Houston region on Monday, forcing officials to suspend bus and rail service, close schools and government offices and urge residents to stay home amid what authorities said were extremely dangerous conditions.
I'm OK. Am trapped inside my home, unable to leave due to the high water, but I am not flooded, and didn't lose power. Other parts of Houston are not so lucky. As of this time, a couple of places in the area got 20 inches of rain, and hundreds, maybe thousands of people have lost everything they own. Flooding here is as bad as Tropical Storm Alison was. Looks like the worst has finally passed..... we hope. Watching the weather reports and crossing our fingers.

Holy balls that rain was crazy. Seriously, it swept everybody's trashcans away in the neighborhood away.
I honestly didn't know how bad it was, so bad that it had Houston largely shut down. That's crazy.That's one of the reasons it's dangerous to go out into the flood waters. If you get a cut while in the waters, get a tetanus shot immediately.
3 dead so far. I'm surprised it isn't higher.

I took out the trash a bit before it happened.I got really lucky. I played at the Homegrown Festival at the Last Concert Cafe last night. Got home at about 2 in the morning. Just as I got my equipment unloaded and got inside, it hit. Talk about timing. LOL.

So, I've got to ask this:
"With the deeply fundamental Christianity coursing through many Texan's veins, have you seen any of your neighbors building an Ark"?
Good response.Nope, and I'm not going to bother asking either. For us, it's not something to be political about. We all bleed the same color.
Wow!!
Hold on tight and wear your floaties!

Not worried about it. I am high and dry. Just a bit of cabin fever. LOL.
Good to hear!
I too live in Houston. My area got a lot of rain, but little to no flooding. It is very bad in some areas though, and we do expect more rain over the next three days. I guess we'll see how this works out.
