Yeah. My wife and my kids were almost caught by a flash flood along the Guadalupe River while I was deployed overseas. Flash floods most people are not ready for. Yeah, that too. Nice post, Katie.
So is the entire Gulf Coast of Texas.
Good call. Even without a hurricane, cloudbursts in Texas often dump a crapton of water in a short period of time, and rivers flood. (See Wimberly recently).
Go grind your ax somewhere else. I'll bet on the blame.
Just got off the phone with Tricky.
He's OK, as is his bride, but the house not so much. We are OK, but if the hurricane had hit the coast a few miles in another direction maybe not. (Not in Houston, but further south, and I'll point out that it is not very often that Victoria, Texas, has a hurricane reach it while still blowing hurricane force winds. Go look at a map of Texas, and find Victoria).
Have some friends who live in Rockport. They are now homeless. Have other friends in Portland. Houses intact, but damaged. Have friends and family up in Friendswood and League City. Not looking good for either.
Do a lot of people carry flood insurance around Houston?
