Hey. It is crazy here. I am on a slight ridge, so subtle you cant see it until there is flooding. My bayou, Brays Bayou. Is a mile away about. All houses between me and bayou are flooded to some extent.

On the norther, fancier side of the bayou the flooding is worser/ deeper for the first sevrral blocks and then the incline rises and homes are safe. Lots of nice mansions there built 6 feet off the ground, and older homes zero feet off the ground.

I’m pumping out my yard and garage. Due to settling my garage is lower than my yard. I cut a trench the length of my property. I am sore and tired

If anyone can spare a prayer, my daughter’s school/church was completely inundated. My wife actually cried from it.

Saint Thomas Episcopal, in 77096. 5 blocks from bayou.

Glad you’re OK (other than sore and tired) and still relatively dry.

Did your power stay on? How did your truck fare, and your fish?

If you ever go to sell your house, it should be worth big bucks, as it didn’t flood.
