He said he bought a 6-pack of Gatorade in preparation. Lol. I guess after losing his beach house to a hurricane, nothing phases him.

Get it right, OP! it was diet half and half snapple. lol.

How are you doing? Did you board up your windows or are you not that close?

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

What happens when 2 to 3 feet of rain gets dumped on a swamp?

Nope. I'm about 60 miles from the coast. No need to board up. I did used to board my beach house windows, tho. Had the pre cut plywood stored under the house.

Houston was originally built on a swamp, but everything is concrete now. Houston proper is 50-125' above sea level, depending on what side of town you're in. My house is on top of a hill. I've never flooded in the 30+ years I've been here.

You will be living on an island for a couple of days though.

I'm not worried about the rain, or flood for that matter. I'm concerned about when the wind blows and electrical wires start slapping together. We were out of power for almost 2 weeks when Ike hit here in 2008.

I don't care. I got grub, water, gas and all the necessities, along with 3 generators

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

I planted a magnolia tree I got from the woods in my backyard when we moved into this house. It was probably 1.5' thick when it fell during Ike. Luckily, it fell against my patio cover and didn't hit the house.

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

I got to run. I'm halfway done with building an ark in my backyard.

Cleveland gets really wet?
