May 26, 201511 yr Great to hear that you "weathered" the storm Shelly! Some of that news footage was pretty scary so I'm sure that more than a few of us were thinking of you.
May 26, 201511 yr Good to hear everyone made it through. Tornados are one part of the midwest I don't miss. Me? I bought a boatload of tubes. And some transformers.
May 26, 201511 yr The video coming out of Houston is pretty much nuts. I remember being in Houston for a Hurricane once and I do not remember anything close to that level of flooding. I think the problem is that we have already had a LOT of rain over the last month or two so the ground was already completely saturated and the bayous were pretty full. (It wasn't as bad as Tropical Storm Allison which dumped 38.6" of rain in Houston over 6 days.) I am so sick of rain.

May 27, 201511 yr Caught a fish yesterday So we decided to buy a house on the water nearby: [emoji2] Edited May 27, 201511 yr by Dreadhead
May 27, 201511 yr Well the offer hasn't been accepted yet but I am guessing we'll get it after some haggling. No parties until we get the basement finishing done and get more bedrooms. This summer is looking family only for a bit.

May 28, 201511 yr Maybe I'm confused, but I thought you bought a lake house already? Congrat regardless!
May 28, 201511 yr We were one house from the water (across the road). Now we are going to be on the water. Edited May 28, 201511 yr by Dreadhead
May 28, 201511 yr Maybe I'm confused, but I thought you bought a lake house already? Congrat regardless! That is correct, but now he'll have two! If only until he moves out of the other one.
May 28, 201511 yr Nice Chris. A Peninsula house? I am waiting to board a flight to Dallas. My third United flight in three days, and every one of them has been at least an hour delayed.
May 28, 201511 yr Nice Chris. A Peninsula house? I am waiting to board a flight to Dallas. My third United flight in three days, and every one of them has been at least an hour delayed. Perhaps fly to a Delta hub and hope you will get reticketed from United to Delta
May 28, 201511 yr Yeah, I had a great streak there where I was flying home from Atlanta more often on Delta planes than on the United ones I was supposed to be on. It was nice.
May 28, 201511 yr Myabe I should try to get a job at Georgia Tech so I can fly Delta instead of United.
May 28, 201511 yr but then you'd be in atlanta, which is one of the few american cities worse than houston
