Hard to tell from the pic but is the flooding entering your neighbors homes? Looks real close if not.
I don't know about all of them but the one to the right had water about an inch from their door.
I too thought they for sure had water enter the home. Very lucky.

Stay safe down there! Wish we could take some of your rain up here in Dallas. Hardly a drop up here.

You doing okay? Hate this for you. Hope you are safe. Looks like the rain has been relentless tonight.

Raining, but all that water receded over night.
But some of my friends and coworkers have several feet of water in their homes and lost their cars. :(

Thank you, yes we are ok.
If you are watching the news, we are located right above the NW corner of the 610 loop.
We've had rain all day but for the most part it has just been a normal, steady rain. No flooding in this area.
We seem to be through the worst of it as the storm moves to the East.
But Houston is huge so even though I may be having a break, others are getting slammed and are being evacuated/rescued as I write this. :(

Good to hear you are safe....but it does sound like a lot of Houston is getting hammered. Glad to hear it is moving on. We are ready to help here in Dallas. I know there are and will be a lot of folks coming to Dallas because they need a place to stay. Going to talk to my church tomorrow to see how my family can help.

Both our airports are shut down.
I just heard that some people who are being rescued are now being transported to Galveston, to then be flown to Dallas.
Thank you!!!

It's been crazy in Sugar Land bro. I can't get out and my two kids, girlfriend, and her folks (her dad is 80) are waiting on the water. I called for evac... Praying they can get to us in the morning because they can't tonight. [emoji15]

So sorry, Leo! :(
Is your home flooded? I wish I could get to you.

Glad you are all safe, Leo! That's the important thing. Hopefully damage to your home is minimal. At least the rain is greatly slowing down.

We lost power finally at 2am.
Got the generator running and we have the basics.
