Thank you SO much for the update. I continue to hold you and those affected in my prayers. 'Things' can be replaced. You can not... And I look forward to enjoying your presence here in the game and in the forums. I'm so happy to hear that you have weathered the worst of it and are okay. Stay safe, stay calm, stay smart and thank you again for the update! - hugs - Please continue to give updates as you can.The brunt of the storm seems to have passed. Yesterday morning at 1am we lost power and at 5:30am the eye hit us and we had about 9 hours of 130mph winds. We lost several huge trees and a building collapsed on my property. Our house sustained minimal damage besides water leaking.
We aren't worried much about the winds anymore but the flooding is insane, and will probably continue to get worse into the new week as a dam about 160 miles upstream is opening to prevent flooding for them, meaning we will experience major flooding on top of what we currently have.
I have no clue because we aren't hearing anything about what's happening out there, but I've heard of multiple building fires, and a storm shelter collapsing.
Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers. We still have no power and cellular data is down in most places, but I'll continue to give updates when I can..
Thank you for checking in my friend! I appreciate the update and am delighted to hear that you are okay. Continuing to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I appreciate you JackDecided to take a five minute walk down to the bayou that runs through downtown. I've included a before picture and 2 after pictures of the same general area to compare.
Houston has received an immense amount of rain since yesterday. Tons of homes have been flooded, roads have collapsed, but the city of Houston has come together to help each other. People have gotten boats to rescue people from their flooded houses and cars.
Luckily my home/neighborhood has not yet been flooded, but our street is flooding. Many other neighborhoods around the city have not been as fortunate as us. It is raining hard now and will continue to throughout the day.
I hope everyone stays safe. Again, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone stuck in the same situation.
Here are the pictures of the bayou.

Joan, would LOVE to hear an update from you! Give a shout out as soon as you can!I'm in that area as well.
Hoping it all gets better over there soon! I'll probably be headed that way Monday or Tuesday to help with disaster relief.The brunt of the storm seems to have passed.
