**** 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Monitoring Disturbance in the Caribbean | South Florida on Notice ****

[meilmarc]

I'm in Mo City too. I'm in a older subdivision, luckily the city or the hoa didn't do anything when I got rid of mine.

The builders said I could take them out as soon as I moved in, but city code made them put 2 in the front yard.

Now the bitch ass HOA, gotta submit paperwork to remove or plant something else in the spot.

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry for the lack of updates, but thankfully this storm didn’t get any stronger than it did. It’s already causing a mess as a cat 1.

I’ve been saying the same thing all morning. This storm did a little bit more damaged than I thought it would do y’all better be glad this wasn’t a category five

 

[meilmarc]

I'm still getting wind gusts and rain even though the storm has moved way to the north. I'm located on the south

This dumb ass must have been trying to get rid of his truck. Everyone knows that 288 is like a damn bowl.

There's some areas that always tend to flood, I wouldn't be surprised if some people left their cars in some places on purpose.

I could be wrong, but isn't parts of Houston below sea level?

Many parts have poor drainage which is why it floods a lot with the slightest rain at times.

Nope the city was built on a dredge out swamp and natural wetlands.

Houses are supposed to be built on at least a 4 foot grade. The streets and highways are built to flood, which drain into the bayous which then let out into the gulf. During cane's the storm surge backs up which stops the drainage

In other words when it rains very hard, the water has nowhere to go

My power is still out in Katy(99 & Clay area). Been out since 8 am. Fence knocked down in 2 separate spots and theres a leak in my roof, but it could've been a lot worse. Be safe everybody. Those winds weren't fuckin around this morning.

 

[meilmarc]

My power still out. It's dark and trees down everywhere in my area. It's getting super humid tonight

During hurricane ike Galveston got hit with 15 to 20 feet of storm surge. The crazy shit is that there a huge seawall that lifted the part of island facing the gulf like 17 feet after the hurricane of 1900 that wiped out Galveston
