We're fine. The typhoon took one look at us, sort of gave us a half-hearted swipe, and then decided to go fight Hong Kong instead.Fair enough. After all, @bhamv3 is probably the Halformite who is most likely to get hit by a cyclonic storm. I'm concerned for him too. It's just that my news filters are keyed to hurricanes and he gets hit by typhoons so they don't show up in my news feed.
So ya Gas, we apparently have an employee somewhat near you!I just spoke with **REDACTED** and he has “flood-zoned” his house and is getting ready to hit the high ground:
“For those interested, the Houston office is being temporarily relocated to the Hill Country just north of San Antonio. It will be accompanied by two kids and two dogs. **REDACTED** has to work today and won't be done until 7 so she will drive over afterward. We can't take a chance of getting caught in evacuation traffic or we would wait for her.
Note that Spring, where we live, isn't under evacuation order and it’s in a no flood zone, however, the forecast below isn't encouraging. Harvey is supposed to sit on top of this general area from Saturday afternoon until Tuesday or Thursday, depending on who you speak. “
* Rainfall from Harvey will cause devastating and life threatening flooding as a prolonged heavy rain and flash flood threat is expected to occur. Rainfall rates of 4 inches per hour or more will lead to flash flooding as rain squalls from Harvey become more numerous this morning along the coast and then spread inland tonight and over the weekend. Periods of heavy rainfall are expected from Harvey through at least Monday morning, and rainfall totals of 15 to 25 inches and isolated amounts up to 35inches are anticipated.
Spring is where Dave, Fade, Pez, Sixpack and I all met at that cajun restaurant. It's closer to Fade and Pez than Sixpack and I, it's about 80 miles from me, but yeah, we're all gonna take a bath. Here's hoping the vaunted drainage changes Fade was talking about are actually extant. As for me, I live on (what the locals count to be) a big hill with decent drainage, so I'm more worried about road conditions on Highway 6 as I drive home Sunday.So ya Gas, we apparently have an employee somewhat near you!
Eesh, cat 4?
I'm sorry man, I hope your place makes it through ok.
Nice. But to get the prized YDTTA rating you gotta pretend you didn't realize what thread you were in.I thought that was a networking burn until I realized what thread I was in.
I need to quit going out into inclement weather and drinking all night.Well as of 1am the road to my house is open.
Damn, I used to live and work in that area.
Stay safe out there, people.
Reminds me of the 2014 Detroit-area flooding.
Stay safe out there, people.
