Thread: SRP members is the Texas Coastal area

Here's another one from Greenspoint Mall area. That's gotta be nearly 20 feet.

Man....Just heard Greens Bayou took a family of 6 in their van.

That's horrible.

Thanks for the updates though Tom - hang in there!

I just lost power but I heard sirens right after that because there's a fire station right down the street so somebody probably had an accident and hit a pole !

Glad to hear from you Texans!

Prayers will continue!

My thoughts and prayers are down in Texas. It is nice to hear from you guys. Stay safe and well my friends!

Power back on but it isn't looking good at all. if the rain doesn't stop & let some of the water drain off we may be screwed. Now in just the last hour or so, my street started filling up & water is coming out of the manhole cover on the sidewalk between my house & the neighbors. I got in my truck & drove around the block. It didn't look so bad on the main thoroughfare behind me but from my driveway on, the street started filling up. Power came on for about 5 minutes & went back off again but I knew they were working on it. They're usually pretty good about that here but when Ike hit, I was out of power for about 12 hours & from my neighbors on, they didn't have power for a week due to damage Ike had done. I had some people from Sweden living across the street from me at the time with 2 kids so I loaned them my generator until it came back on.
Just now as soon as the power came back on, I immediately opened my garage door so that if I needed my generator, the exhausts would go outside plus I have another fridge out there & it was right against the garage door. Here's what it is looking like outside now.




I didn't see any reason to make a new post. I just took another pic of a street across from me that runs into mine & the water is over the curb.

Now not even an hour later, you can see the water rising. Look at the grass across the street. I'm using that as a reference since in my previous pics the fire hydrant is blocked by the tree hanging down.

Well. it's still rising but the rain just stopped but for how long, I don't know.





This bottom one I walked down my driveway some & took a pic of the lake out here. As you can see it's about to cover the sidewalk but I'm gonna pray it stops for awhile so that maybe it might drain some. I would be happy if the street went down again. I've been getting things & putting them up high plus I'm going to put whatever I can in the attic. My landlord called & he's in Richmond & he said they were told to evacuate. He told me if it gets any worse, they'll close the gate of the drainage going into the river & then we're really screwed. It's already flooding that way & the river dumps into the gulf. I don't see why they just let it keep flowing.



My next door neighbors sidewalk is under water but mine isn't completely covered yet.

Hey Steve, disregard the PM I just sent you. I hadn't read your updates. May be time to build an Ark.

You got that right. I just saw an email, I haven't read it yet but it's from Nextdoor.com. I just read it because the City of Sugar Land is automatically a member on this website so they messages to our website. Here's what it says:

Communications Manager Priscilla MonroeCommunications Manager Priscilla Monroe, City of Sugar Land AGENCY
Stay off the streets
Weather conditions have rapidly deteriorated today, and it's no longer safe on city streets due to wide spread flooding conditions. Levee improvement districts have closed their outfalls to protect from river flooding, and levee operators are using pumps to remove rain that falls within the levees. The National Weather Service is forecasting rain amounts that may exceed the capacity of the pumps. Drainage channels and storage areas are filling up, causing storm drains to back up and streets to flood, essentially holding water as they’re designed to do during extreme conditions. The duration and intensity of rainfall will determine the impact for communities within the levees.

Citizens should stay home and be prepared to ride the storm out until flood waters recede. The best place to stay is on the second floor of your house or a neighbor's house. Do not shelter in attics. Should you ignore this advice and become stranded on flooded streets, you will not only place yourself in danger, but you will also place our first-responders in harms way.

BTW, my sidewalk is now completely under water.
