That's just awful...

Apparently, they've been rescued now.  Should never have happenned though.

[Valmy]

People did not take the evacuation warning seriously enough. But we are getting people out of Houston pretty fast.

I am on duty now. We are doing a good job with the power situation under the circumstances but still over 300K outages left to tackle.

Forecasters warned that the flooding in Texas could be historic. More than 20 inches of rain had fallen on Houston in 24 hours as of Sunday evening, the National Weather Service said. Fifteen to 25 more inches of rain could fall on a swath of the upper Texas coast to Lafayette, Louisiana, by Friday

[Valmy]

Yeah it is unprecedented. Right on top of our largest city.

[Valmy]

So the President is going to be here on Tuesday. I wonder if he will not make this whole thing about him.

He would be roasted if he didn't...so he might as well.

On the good side, Valmy's house will now be beachfront property and will increase 5x in value.
Time to sell and move further back in the country, Valmy.

You know he's a couple hundred miles inland, right? Besides it hasn't rained all that much out here.

[Valmy]

It has been raining a lot but not Houston a lot.

I know, just making a joke about the water level on the coast.

And how many people died in their cars the last time there was a hurricane evacuation?

I for one applaud ERCOT's ability to keep the juice on for people standing in water. The Texan heritage of execution by Old Sparky is preserved.
