Houston TX thread

[wickedsm]

Just got back, not as many people there as I expected. Maybe around 100 but the support was out pouring, plenty of water, clothes, baby stuff, and food donated by Lil Ceasars, and Domines and a food truck called Creole Gold I think. Help set up the cots and everything. Just hope those folks can have a pleasant night considering the circumstances. Didn't notice any knuckleheads in the building either.

my older daughter and i are gonna donate tommorow. we have lots of baby stuff, food and clothes.

im so concerned for those people, to have lost everything and i dont trust landlords or fema to help them at all

Spent yesterday at my boyfriend's (Memorial City) and it wasn't too bad there. Came back to my place this morning, which is right off the bayou, and everything is exactly how I left it

Flooding sure isn't discriminating. Katy, Meyerland, Cypresswood, Greenspoint, Inwood\Eisenhower areas seem to have gotten it the worse.

i had no issues getting here. i have to be at work at 6am. i had zero problems. i don't know what it looks like now. i haven't left yet. then my wife texted me at about noon with flood pictures of the neighborhood right across the street. completely flooded with chest deep water. and that's with NO rain....

some areas will always flood more than others. When you build a city on a swamp with bayous all over it, you'll get flooding pretty easily.

It's really a Texas thing to build homes and businesses on bayous and creeks for some reason.
