Stay Safe

[Marine91]

To everyone who lives in OK and TX that has been impacted by this crazy rain. Please stay safe. Last night we had almost 11 inches by my house in 3 hours and I know there are areas that had it much worse that I did. Sadly more is on the way so it is only going to get worse over the next few days. Maybe we will get lucky and the system won't develop as they are expecting it to.

Hey Todd,
Hope all is well in your area, we got hit hard but luckily no flooding near home. The streets & yard was bad, and the hail pounded our roof, and garage door. I've been on call, since I'm an insurance agent, calls had me up all night regarding claims. Sadly though, alot were flood related, and not everyone has flood policies. Sucks bc they think its covered under their home policy, I hate being the bearer of bad news. Is this it for us, or is there another round coming?

Thanks - we need it. Pretty much 90% of Houston is UNDER WATER. Its terrible.

There is more coming this afternoon. Flood warning has been issued until 6am tomorrow but I honestly think it will be much longer than that being that we have rain in the forecast for the next 2 weeks.

FML - are you guys flooded in your area? You're in Cypress right?

We are in Bear Creek. My house is up about 5 feet from the street so we didn't get flooded, but we did have water about 9 feet up our driveway so we had to move my son's car in to the middle of our front yard. If i flood from the front mother nature can have my house, but I have crappy drainage in the back thanks to all of my neighbors that decided to have their run off come to my yard so i will flood from there first.

Ugh. Do you guys have a flood policy? I normally don't for us, but thinking I may get one since they have a 30 day wait, and if this is a preview as to what Hurricane season will be, then I think I should. Our front was fine for the most part, we back up to a bayou - no back neighbors, so that helps alot. I have a coworker who lives in Bellaire, she has water in her house, and all 3 cars are under water. You guys stay safe! I wonder if Home Depot has sand bags left.

Yes stay safe! I was just checking in on Mavsfan4life yesterday and all is ok but it's bad she said, checked in David he's safe he said it was west, and he texted this morning saying it was a bad night he was out running calls all night.

[MENTION=13133]TyTysmom[/MENTION] Nope. No flood insurance here either. The cost is insane unless you get it through the state. Last time I had a quote it was over $4,000 a year which is way more than my home owners by itself.

this is awful, hoping everyone stays safe. Cali would gladly take some of that rain here....

Hey Todd, are you in a flood zone? If not, then the highest rate is $430/year - do you know what zone you are in?

Becareful what you ask for sir, lol

We asked for rain too bc of the drought - now everyone is begging for it to go away. My coworker currently has 27' of standing water in their front yard, and 3 cars under water.

No not really. I think I am in a 500/1000 year plain or something like that. I am about 5 miles from Addicks reservoir where everything around me drains to keep the flooding down. My house was built in the 70's and has never been flooded even when Allen, Alicia, Allison, Rita and Ike hit.

I've been thinking of you guys… we had that 100 year flood here a couple years back and it was horrible. So many closed roads and they closed the schools for weeks. Sending prayers

The weather is crazy lately some areas are getting no rain and have drought and forest fires, and others are getting too much rain, and flooding. One day we have hot and humid weather with AC on, and the next day it goes down to +1 and frost and the heat is back on. I hope everyone in Texas stays safe, and doesn't experience too much damage to their homes, property and cars. I hope the rain lets up for you guys. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, and sending love and prayers your way.
