We all live in South Houston, or at least not north Houston. There are two posters here with family in north Houston though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The east and northeast were hit pretty good but it is mostly the same neighborhoods along the San Jacinto river that have been flooding for 50 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Transmission towers down, trees down and the Wells Fargo, Enterprise, Total, Kinder Morgan and Chevron buildings downtown look like someone took a shotgun to the windows.

Only time I ever saw that was Ike (?). Crazy. This is what Trump warned about. They put up those big wind fans and now they're blowing all over the state!

They are like strippers, they stop working when you stop throwing money at them. Much more likely your girl Sheila, Biden and the coont squad gotta hold of W's hurricane machine he used on New Orleans. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonnyutah 137 Posted May 21 You know what would really help? More people, streets, structures, etc. Those things are all great for mitigating water damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
