[AMC-list] whalloped by flooding.....round 2

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well you probably heard that Houston got smacked by flooding again today. 
Some areas got hit harder than last week. The area I live in and surrounding 
areas from basically Beltway 8 north to 290 and west and sout of that got 
hit really hard, 9-11 inches of rain last night. I heard the rain falling 
and didn't think too much of it. I got up about 5AM and feet hit 
water.....in the house. I woke up Paige & the boys, but not much could do 
except start trying to barricade the doors with towels. About 2 inches in 
the house, never has flooded inside the house, not during Allison, not 
during Ike.

Inside the garage was over 5 inches of water. So all day today we have been 
using wetvac, pulling up carpet in rooms, throwing away a lot of stuff Paige 
was going to do garage sale early May, just cleaning up, and jut got a 
dehumidifier to run so hopefully won't get mold in walls and sheetrock.

Here are a few photos I took this morning:

that is a live rescue at Beltway @ I-10 the lady is still missing...the 
floodwaters were 15 feet deep there...up to bottom of I-10 or stop lights.

this looks like I have a really bad bladder problem but it is that deep. The 
people on this street, Timber Oak, had just clenaed up from LAST WEEK'S 
flood, and this time they blocked the street with vehicles so people in big 
trucks could not cause wakes.....in their homes.

If anyone here was expecting something from me, there will be a slight 
shipping delay, probably 2-3 days max until we can clean up and dry out 
here. Thanks for patience.
