Talking about Rain......

[bountyhunter]

Well we just got our power back about 30 minutes ago, and I don't think we have ever had that much rain in that short of time, even during a hurricane. Here are some pictures of my front yard, or should I say lake......

I checked the rain guage about an hour ago and I've had 11 1/4" since yesterday. I got 12 1/2" during Ike.

[bountyhunter]

I just checked and we have had 8 and a hair since noon today. That is a lot of rain in a short amount of time.

i just got home from being down on the west end after a hearing a weather alert on the radio about a tornado near jamaica beach... i had to pull over on the side of the road since i couldnt see, glad i had my beer in my truck

The drive to work was horrible... it took me 2 hours and a couple of double backs to get in. A lot of flooded vehicles on the feeders along 45, the beltway , and 225.
We lost power for about 3 hours at the casa and although we had no water in our house during Ike, some how the carpet in our bedroom got wet during this deluge.

Hope its over with.

Man I went to the Pasadena Gun Show today and Was stuck there for 3 hours due the Rain. Goosh Darn

At some point it was so windy the rain did not even touch the ground. IT was a wall or wind driven rain.

I Picked up a 40 Mag 5.56 mag and a new holster for My Xd40Sub. It was nice to see that the whole parking lot was full and people kept showing up while it was raining. On the way back I had to pull 2 cars out of the water. Luckily they pushed the car out of standing water before I saw them. Managed to get some nice Hugs from the chicks. THey were about 20-25 years old. They offered me $ but I could not accept hence the hugs...

Man, it's knarly out there. Just dropped the GF off at the airport and I've never been so happy to drive a truck. So many cars flooded out on the feeder road on 45. I was driving back in Galveston on Harborside and the road was blocked ahead so I cut back to Broadway. A car decided to follow me. Halfway there the water starts getting deep Luckily the taco made it through. Too bad for the car behind me. He started going really slow, then I saw the lights go off

[coachlaw]

[lurefisher]

Cars in Flooding

Me and momma went to the gun show around 2:00. I have not seen it rain that hard for that long in awhile. Got 4wd 2500 Chevy so no problems. But, I am continually amazed at how people drive in the high water. We saw ALOT of people as they were flooding. Some were eating, many on cell phones, driving as if there was nothing to worry about. People just do not care or pay attention anymore.

Yeah, not much rain here (Kenedy, TX) but my wifes care got flooded while she was at work in clear lake. Bummer, now I have to deal with insurance and pay a deductable. Oh well. It will be better once I get back on the water. 3 DAYS!!!

Sorry to hear that. Dealing with insurance companies is like poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick.... Good luck I hope they don't give you too much trouble.
