Official Houston thread that isn't on the Texas Board

OK here in the Heights. White privilege seems to be fending off Harvey.

 

What am I going to do with all this bottled water and canned food I bought to get prepared for this bitchass hurricane

 

I'm a little upset I bought the three liter bottles of water I got too.

 

I thought Harvey would be a little more hurricane-y than this.

You know I was thinking the same thing. That Jim Cantore is full of shit.

 

Stay tuned, the worst is still to come.

All the tornado warnings

 

So this thing is closer to San Antonio than us? And we are supposed to get a bunch of rain tonight?

 

Yeah this is where it's gonna get bad

My street is already undriveable

 

Made it to my buddies to watch the fight. Might be stuck here tonight. As soon as I got here i received a flash flood warning on my phone.

 

It would appear things are getting real

 

yup. Just got off the road. I should have been darwinned.

 

Same

 

Nothing has happened here in midtown. I'm many miller products and a bottle of red wine in.

 

This good news for me. As I might try to drive home after the fight.

 

Be careful.

 

It's just i10 from just before 610 to montrose. If there's nothing in midtown then I figure I should be fine as it's not even raining here anymore and it's all highway.

 

Alright good

 

In the heights. My garage flooded in 90 minutes and the gully gave in hours ago.

 

oh

 

the heights always floods..

 

Can confirm. This is the hardest it's rained yet here in midtown

 

Nothing has happened here in midtown. I feel like something should have happened. I'm still drinking.

 

Nothing ever happens in midtown

 

There are trashcans floating down my street

 

so...

houston is underwater.

another 7-15 inches today it looks like.

 

Harris county authorities telling people to get on their roofs in certain parts of Houston.

 

My streets flooded. Only place for the water to go is up. Flood warning for the next four hours....

 

My mom said there were over 70 tornado warning alerts in sugar land yesterday.

 

Lived in the Bellaire area when I was a little kid, off of a street called Bissonnet. We were near the Bray's bayou. Any word on how bad that area is?

 

Same

 

Bad

 

I'm ok. 7 houses down from me my block is flooded

 

Have about ankle high deep water surrounding our house right now. It's gotten into the garage. Luckily, our house is about 4ft off of the ground so we should be ok. Our cars etc, who knows.

Holy shit

 

I'm almost out of beer

 

Same

 

What do we do

 

I called uber the other night to bring me to get dip but it might be too bad for that now. I still have a couple bottles of wine and a full liquor bar.

 

I have a lot of liquor and like i always say drink liquor if you want to get drunk quicker ha ha

 

But beer is king

 

I agree but I'm trying to be optimistic k man
