Only now it it headed true east to LA and New Orleans. They just don't see this thing ending soon. Best to all --- It'll make landfall probably 30 miles from here if it keeps it's current track. No matter where it lands everything around here is getting drenched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matthews Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If it looks like a real flood threat over there, take it seriously. You can't stop your home from flooding, but you can stop cars from flooding. Park at least one car high and dry. Then, if they boat you out later, you'll at least have wheels. Fill your tank if you can. Gas is non-existent around here. I'm low on gas, and fortunately, I don't have to go anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 All 3 cars here are full of fuel. We all filled up Friday and really haven't gone much of anywhere. We'll put off refueling as long as possible as most tanks will be pumping a water fuel mix for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to park somewhere high and dry, try to make sure it's not going to be an island, or you won't be going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I just heard President and Mrs. Trump landed at Corpus Christi. I wonder if @USNRET was involved with that landing? I doubt he could comment until the president left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 We have all seen the ariel and widescreen views of the devastation. It's hard to grasp because we don't have a frame of reference for something that destructive. Fox News just showed an interviewer inside a house with the homeowner and water nearly up to his waist. Heartbreaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted August 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2017 Houston Friends, I need some help urgently. I have close and dear friends flying into Austin tomorrow at noon and I need to drive them to their home in Colony Lakes (Highway 6/Dew9alt area). They are high and dry as it the rest of the area, however, getting there is going to be the issue. Flying them down isn't going to work because of logistical issues. So how to get to Sugarland area from Austin is the big question at this point. This is the source I have been using which is hopefully accurate https://drivetexas.org/#/12/29.7243/-95.6124?future=false 290 looks good down to Cypress right now. 99 south from 290 is showing closed right now but forecast to open by noon tomorrow. I am thinking 290 to 99 South, and then trying to figure out a way to cut over to 6 south. Any thoughts or ideas? @Mallette @Jeff Matthews ?????

Mallette Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Haven't really looked at road conditions in that area, though at a request from a League City person I found it possible to (oddly enough) get in or out of Houston via 146 to Galveston, then via San Luis Pass down the coast. 290 looks like a possible, with a couple of spots you'd need to see if you can get a workaround. https://drivetexas.org/#/10/29.9821/-96.2872?future=false Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite an episode. 500 year river levels, Lake Travis was over 50 feet down and it filled up in a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
