[CBJ]

I think some of you are doing it wrong.

It will be easier for Obama to invade Texas if it looks like Katrina hit it first.

 

[MMike]

I'd pee in that water

Was thinking the same thing.


How fast did the water come in ? Was there not time or enough warning to evacuate ?

Sux about yer home and ride.

 

[MMike]

It messed with Texas

 

[Westy]

Sorry about your stuff. On the bright side, large portions of your car are no longer being damaged by UV radiation a from the sun.

Work, work, and more work....... and a short ride.

Did I say I worked???

Thanks, my apt is fine i am on the second floor. I flew back home Monday at about 9ish and drove home in the worst conditions i've ever driven in. Home around 10ish. Est the water is below the bank by 3 feet. By 2am it was at least 3 feet above bank. So 6' in 4 hours. The apartment below me is at street grade and she got 30" in her apt. It's rained almost every day for the last 2 months and this was just supposed to be another night of rain. By the time we realized what was happening all of the surface streets had been flooded. The guy in the last video knew for sure his car was going to get flooded so he gave it the ghost and tried to save'r.

Is that a Fire Rescue boat in my driveway or you just happy to see me?

I hope you and your family are OK. Keep us posted.....

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

So, I guess this means the local trails are closed.

 

[eric strt6]

Italy is sending help

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Holy shit, Tony, good luck!

 

[MMike]

Texas Flood

 

[The Toninator]

Texas Flood

Oh, the irony.

 

[The Toninator]

Thanks everyone, I'm high and dry and everyone is out safe. Been working from home all week. The complex does not have AC yet but I have a small window unit I keep for emergencies, yeay me!
Final pic's

 

[jstuhlman]

glad you're ok.

*note to self: do not buy used cars registered in TX in 2015.

 

[The Toninator]

Cant even imagine the number of flooded cars. Across the street they have multi underground parking (derp). The top floor of both were untouched but the lower levels all go flooded. Very expensive cars coming out of there this morning.

 

[slyfink]

Does insurance cover flood damage down there?

 

[The Toninator]

Liability does not, full coverage auto yes, rental/home does not naively you have to sign up for it separately.

That's amazing.

 

[TreeSaw]

Holy crap Tony. Glad you're okay.

 

[The Toninator]

Thanks everyone! Life us returning to normal but I have yet to square away my car. I may get to ride the bus next week!

 

[CBJ]

Wow that is crazy. Maybe it's bike commuter time!

 

[The Toninator]

That's actually what I'm going to do. To hot to bike to work in the morning and not be all stinky when I get here so I'm going to bus it in the morning and then bike home in the evening. I'm only 3 1/2 miles from work.

 

[CBJ]

I could only imagine how warm it gets down there.

 

[The Toninator]

during the summer morning is typically low 80's.
I just got a trade in quote of 11k very disappointing. Hope they total it.

 

[The Toninator]

If they dont I'll just hang onto it until it dies. again.

 

[CBJ]

80s that is not too bad I commute all year round but I am not a smelly guy

 

[The Toninator]

I'm going to try it out and see. I don't have to wear a monkey suit but close to it.

 

[CBJ]

Bring some paper towel for the sweaty face along the way and maybe a extra t-shirt. I just ride in whatever dress shirt I wear.
