Wife's uncle lives in Conroe, waiting to hear from him as Conroe got the mandatory evac order (yesterday ?).
Houston Mayor should have issued a voluntary evac order, with mandatory for the downtown area.

Like most people, most residents have waited till the last possible minute to leave and are from reports very slow going leaving the area.
So meanwhile in Texas:wall:
Facebook is pretty overloaded with friends making goofy posts, jet skiing down the streets, catching fish in their living room, floating down the streets on floats and tubes drinking beer.
Man Houston is jacked up right now, and although I know everything will work itself out, it's painful to see that kinda devastation in my state. That said, damn proud of the first responders and yes my fellow Texans, making light of a nasty situation where possible and not missing a chance to barbecue and drink beer!
God bless the Great state of Texas!

It seems like the environmental liars were right. At least about Houston...
RIP to the victims who lost their life.

Shit. RIP.
Not exactly... not saying man wasn't a contributor to weather extremes but this isn't some new trend. Tropical storms happen and flooding is a result at time.

I was referencing his individual post, which was devoid of context, other than they were promising rain...

Good article about Houston and The Flood:
The 500-year flood: Why Houston was so underprepared for Harvey
And just so we don't assume it's just Houston, they are warning communities 50 miles away of the downstream effects (pun intended):

I was referencing San Antonio.
Environmental Liars would be TV Weather Geeks.
I'll be more exact next time.
Local news is saying it's a 1000 year flood.
49 plus inches with another 15 forecast.

I had not known until I read that article that the 500-year flood, 1,000, 15, whatever, was based on probability models and not on past events.
Almost 5.000 years old. And if it could talk, it probably wouldn't want to.
