We drove through Ganado around noon today and water was everywhere. Hwy 59N by Louise had high water in one lane. The rain was incredible. We were driving north on Hwy 172 from Port Alto and the closer to Ganado, the harder the rain. The fields were flooded. The good thing was that everyone was driv...

Backyard is against retention pond for White Oak Bayou. We've had a nice 3" of rain.

Now its getting scary here in Beaumont. Power is out. Trees are down. Transformers blowing all around. We are now clocking about 60 sustained with numerous gusts to 70 mph. So far over 5” of wind driven rain. Starting to get nervous now. Ill try to get a few pictures..Stay safe everyone. Few more h...

I'm at 290 & Beltway 8 - that train is right over us. In the past hour, we've had at least an inch.

I just went outside here in Atascocita to bring in Patio chairs and it seem very still and quiet and eerie , no birds and my neighbors dog did not even bark or come out his house. He normally comes running and barking at the gate. Animals have a sixth sense. Maybe Laura will come much closer to Hou...

Is this enough for NHC to adjust their forecast?

Might want to consider getting those vehicles topped off with gas. The gas stations will run out quick if Laura actually does start heading this way. Problem is...we dont know if she will lol I am not a meteorologist but Laura will stay in Louisiana because we canceled our fishing trip to Port O'Co...

BIL in El Campo said streets are flooded but no hail.

So what are y'alls thoughts on the SW side of town this afternoon? I have to make a decision to let people go home or not (I already let some employees who are on the North side stay home this morning. But I don't want to wait until the last minute and have people drive in this, but I also don't wa...

SIL in El Campo sent photos of flooded roads there.

Rain and thunder Hwy 290 & BW8 area.

Done!

1998 Francis struck us on White Oak Bayou. We watched our neighbors and sons classmates on TV being rescued by air boats.

We were married in July, 1983. Alicia hit in August, 1983. I remember at Christmas going down to the in-law bay house between Palicios and Port Lavaca and Carancahua Bay was frozen over.

Starting to sleet again here at Fairbanks N Houston. Presently at 27 and cars are iced over.
Huge thanks to all the mets here. Truly appreciated. Wish I could share the big pot of soup I made with all of you!

Thank you. Just concerned and have resigned myself to the fact our bay house in Port Alto will not survive.

I'm having that bust panic feeling now as well. Only in Texas can fear of flood flip to fear of drought and vice versa in a nanosecond.

Amen!

Thank you all for the updates. Not knowing the terminology and going back and forth to the weather 'dictionary', your input is greatly appreciated.
