I'm on the south loop sort of by NRG. I was watching the news and they were doing helicopter rescues a few mins from me.
I haven't been impacted really, my apartment complex refuses to flood!
Haven't got confirmation that I'm off yet tomorrow but the roads that I'd usually take to work are/were underwater.
My only concern is the boredom of being stuck inside for 3-4 days now.

The whole area immediately west of you completely flooded. You're lucky your apartment didn't flood.

I heard 288/610 to the east of me too is also underwater.

I looked at the flood maps before the storm, and was here during the last flood so I felt pretty confident.

Houston Brehs. My thoughts and concerns are with you, your families and loved ones.

My understanding is that after Katrina, the city of Houston has had an influx of new residents swelling the population. Places that used to be fields and natural land have been paved over with concrete. With much of the city being pretty flat in combination with all the concrete in place of natural land, the water does not have anywhere to go. is this true?

Not sure but very possible.
I've been in Houston 5 years and theres so much more than there was when I first got here.

Don't spread these cac's propaganda around. The only thing that happened was that gunshots were heard. Not whether they were fired at or anything.

Facts or fiction? Cajun Navy founder talks about rumors of a shooting

HOUSTON, TX (KPLC) -
The founder of the Louisiana Cajun Navy has responded to questions about a Facebook post published on the group's page on Monday afternoon.

The post detailed "looters" posing as people that needed to be rescued in Houston tried to overtake their boats, and then fired shots at members of the Cajun Navy.



Clyde Cain, the Founder of the Louisiana Cajun Navy says they had three boats around the Sam Houston Tollway in Pasadena, Texas.

Around 10 am; "The leader of that boat was going to pick up some people and they came across some people who we believe were looting and those looters fired shots. We don't know if they were shooting at our crew or just shooting in the air so our crew turned around and left. Nobody was injured."

Cain also says they also had two boats stranded, on Monday. The two Cajun Navy members didn't want to leave their boats alone because they were worried they would have been stolen.

Two marshals in an airboat ended up rescuing that stranded boat.

The Louisiana Cajun Navy is the umbrella that includes several smaller 'Cajun' rescue groups.

They formed over 12 years ago, and have been rescuing stranded flood victims ever since.

Many members of the group are currently in Houston to help victims of Tropical Storm Harvey.
