South Houston is a lake when it rains 3".

This storm is going to be brutal.

As a past resident of Houston and Matagorda TX i wish you all the best, man -  I hope you are all ok.  

I second that! All of you stay safe! It looks nasty.

Your so right

I have vivid memories of me in my '72 ford 4x4 with big tires in missoiuri city.It was only a heavy rain and the water was past the bottom of door.

I can remember it as if it was yesterday me just slowly creeping down the street to the apt.I created enough of a wake that a VW started floating towards the front of a house.That was in the late 70's.

I can only wish everyone there my best and a safe ride.

My mom lives there and I have lost contact with her, hopefully all is well and it is just the phone lines.

All the people that didnt evacuate the Galveston area God bless them I hope they survive,this one is a Beast

Pudg,

As big as that monster is you are in line for another whipping too. The texas beaches are toast! EVERYONE NEEDS TO RUN FOR THEIR LIVES THIS TIME.

I have 'stayed' for more than a couple of Gulf Storms, but this one is a bad boy for sure. There will be a bunch of knock down timber in S E Texas. Sharpen your chain saws.
