Everyone in Houston alive and dry???

Went to bed early (9 PM) when I lost power. Both dogs stuck close to me in bed during the thunder and lightening. Woke up 1 AM and saw power restored, so had to reprogram alarm clock. Back to sleep. Woke up around 8 AM since power was out again. Maybe I should get that wind-up alarm clock I have needed for about 20 years. 2 hours late to work.

No flooding down here in Pearland, but Clear Creek is pretty full, along with the various storm drains, so tonight's rain fall should prove interesting.

Nothing like when Allison hit.

I'm glad I'm way up here in Kilgore! I spoke with the sis next door to me, and the weather knocked power out yesterday in the Heights, and is still down as of this morning. She said the water was up to the tires on vehicles in the driveway, but no real damages. Luckily the houses are well above any flood threat!

Stay dry y'all!

I was trapped in my part of the subdivision by steet flooding till about Noon,(my car sits like 4 inches off the ground  ) but made it to work and back after that with no issues. Everyone at work is OK, but we had about 4 co workers who could not get out of their homes today.

We are still trapped here in Cypress, there are little rivers all over the place so deep we can't drive out of our neighborhood. My sisters boy did not have to go to school cause it was closed but even if it where not he still would not have been able to go. Jacob had to turn around and come back home he only got a few blocks away before he had no place to go there is only one way out  of our neighborhood.

We had a nice day anyways.

No problems here.  The sidewalk in front flooded, and the ditch between that and the street had water in it for the first time since we moved in, but nothing in the house.  Left for work about 6:15 AM yesterday and ran into a bit of minor street flooding getting out of The Heights and then one patch of high water on I-45 (not too deep to get through easily in my Saturn).  Our part of The Heights did not lose power.

I live in Copperfield which was near the brunt of the storm.  They calculate we got 10-12 inches of rain but I don't know for sure as my gauge overflowed after 5 inches.  I couldn't get out of my subdivision yesterday but the house was high and dry.  Probably because every year I pay for flood insurance (if you have it, you won't need it).  Today was no problem at all.
