That picture is just a few blocks from where I used to live in Houston prior to moving out 2 years ago.
Braeswood, is where the Astrodome was. Used to be the Fluor Houston Bldg., which had the entire basement flooded late 70s/early 80s.

Question: Don't they have historic flooding maps of lowest lying areas, which could have been evacuated?

Seems like the Houston is another dumb ass.......

I think they might have finally opened a third route...but I'm not sure.  I drove to Austin from Midland once a month for my Guard drills.

Longest military I had to drive in was from Ft. Stewart Georgia to West Palm Beach Florida after Hurricane Andrew...painful doesn't begin to describe it LOL!

Keeping all of my fellow Texans that are being affected by this storm in my prayers.

Be safe and don't try to be a hero.

Just got the call. My shop is closed until the day after Labor Day.
It's in Katy, and none of us can get there.

Are they serving lunch in the cafeteria?

Seriously.  You have food and stuff?

I brought some granola bars and they are passing out snacks like chips, crackers, etc and some fruit.  Don't feel like eating, though.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Governor Abbott has activated total Texas Guard- 12000 strong!


As with Katrina, other states will send NG. I heard on the radio that the NY ANG is responding. They have airlift so that would make sense.

You should see utility workers from around the country show up.

I hope that's going to be high enough and that you have everything you need for the stay.

We should. We have seven years to plan. It's April 2024.

I don't know which towns will be at 100% but most of the state will be at about 95 I think.

Disagree.
More died during the evacuation of Rita than during this once in a lifetime event, so far, at least.
How would you go about evacuating 6.5 million residents safely?
