It was the weirdest thing. My street and the next over did not flood. Everywhere else did.
I did not lose power. Areas around me did. Water never got high enough to tnreaten our vehicles.
Underneath 610 at s. Post Oak I saw a flooded out fire truck just abandoned, alone. Not the same one that got stuck on my street.
It was surreal. I was tired. Drove to my daughter’s school. It is a few blocks from the bayou and received several feet of water, but by the time I got there the water had receded and folks were busy putting furniture out on the curb.
I helped a lady to her helicopter ride. Saw a lot of folks from my super neighborhood waiting for their helicopter ride. Lot of sad folks.
re: fish. I have koi, goldies, and minnows in an outside pond that fared well.Lots of debris, obviously.
Due to weather I did not feed them for several days. When I cleaned the pond today I made a gross discovery: sometime during the hurricane a bird fell in the pond, and my fish ate it. To the bone. Everything but the elbows, which was pivotal to identification, as it was in several parts.
Wow...killer Koi. Now that they have a taste for it, I guess you’re going to have to throw them the occasional bird...or some fried chicken.
These “Koi” don’t happen to have a large protruding fin on their back do they?
Anyway, I’m glad you and your home came through all this safe and intact.
