Mungwater 588 Posted April 18, 2016 It's like a snow day for other folks It isn't as bad as it was over memorial last year, but I love seeing all the cars flooded out on the highway. Dumbasses think they can drive through six feet of water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted April 18, 2016 I didnt even know it was flooding until I was a block from work, at Westheimer and West Sam Houston. Thankfully I take a free exit and go down the frontage road, because West Sam Houston was at a standstill. I had to U-turn and head home. It took 2 hours to get home. I made it back to Sugar Land fairly quick, but every road i went down in sugarland had 2+ feet of water. I would drive 2-3 blocks down a road, then U-Turn and try a different route.

Mungwater 588 Posted April 18, 2016 I work from home and I'm not traveling today so nothing changed for me. Our dog was going berserk last night with the storms, couple that with every iPad and iPhone buzzing with the weather alert. I let him out of his crate around 3 and let him in the bed. He immediately put his paws and head on my neck, which made sleeping kind of hard, but then I remembered my wife had the other end, so I was okay with it. But he was probably trying to choke me out, but he doesn't have thumbs... Stupid dog 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrrrrrrrrr, sputter sputter sputter... Dumbasses This is one of the joys of living in the south. Waiting for a natural disaster type event and watching the rednecks do stupid sh!t. Last time we had a good flood in Nashville, I watched a redneck sitting on a car hood water ski down the street being towed by his buddy in a lifted truck with a huge rebel flag. I'm sure that ended well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumbasses think they can drive through six feet of water It was much worse on the North West side than Ike, Allison or the rain we had on Memorial Day. Houses that didn't flood during those other events have water in them. But overall I agree with you, typical weather entertainers making things out to be worse than they are.
