I saw on the news some areas may get 53 inches of rain! That's just frikken epic, can't imagine what kind of flooding that will bring. And the whole storm is just going to camp on the coast for days.
This'll give you an idea!

My youngest son and his family moved to Tomball (just north of Houston) in February. I think they are wishing they had moved farther inland. They have had 14.75 inches of rain and the power is out today. At least no damage to their house yet.
And no doubt will continue to make.Yessir, flooding is always worse than wind storms that tear everything down. Stuff that is torn down can be replaced pretty quickly to restore power. When it floods, all that water has to disappear before you can turn power back on. These are the times when Mother Nature shows man what kind of mistakes we made with the world.

Yoiks!!
There's always that one guy who thought he could make it. The guy in the man basket almost did.
If its not funny, why are there so many of us watching that kind of stuff on YouTube? [dddWB, what you can't see is there were a bunch of cars in front of that 18 wheeler & they flooded out & the traffic kept stacking up behind them & the water rises *really* fast right there as the adjacent bayou overflows! It's a nightmare getting all those cars towed out after the water recedes. During Allison over a hundred cars got covered up!
It rains a LOT in H-town & there are several notorious spots where people lose cars every time there's a hard rain! There's a particular underpass near downtown that gets um every time! There are big signs that warn it's low & there's even a marker gauge on both sides showing the water depth. I was turning right at the light & a woman in a brand new ragtop BMW in front of me drove right into it... still had the paper dealer tags on! Totally disappeared & luckily she was able to get out & swim to safety. Pretty sure her old man & ins co weren't very happy! I know it wasn't funny but I laughed my butt off on my way home! [ddd
