Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

naturally, it is your duty. would hate to see beer go bad.

 

Last evacuation for me was Rita. I was living in Houston, and had family in Galveston. I had to go south to pick them, and their stuff up in my truck and THEN head out of town. The place I was living usually takes 45 minutes to get to from their house. During that rush, it took 12 hours to get to. And then I still had to drive 24 hours on top of that to get to where we were going.

Never again. I told them if there's a storm, they need to get out early. No way I'm going south just because they want to wait to "what happens until the day of"

Plus yes. That whole anti looter thing.

 

and beer... don't forget the beer.

 

I had actually quit drinking for 2 years (long story). then hurricane ike hit. I was lucky and got out early enough to avoid most of the traffic, but that hurricane made me quit, quitting drinking.

 

anything that makes you go to Florida can't be good.

 

I've gone through a storm before. Knock out the power for a week. Hardest part of that wasn't the lack of power or AC. I was just so bored. Books can entertain me for only so long. Luckily now, I have about 30 board games

 

oh man hurricane IKE we got so bored we went up to the guys house in Houston.. the worst thing about hurricanes I decided is that the AC is out and apparently (some) grown men give up showering.

 

You seriously didn't see that coming?

 

I was still in the love haze

 

Power goes out = D&D time

 

Wuve... Twue wuve!

 

it isn't hot beer, it is called "rodeo cold"

 

Yes sir that would be me.

 

cool, Nice truck!

 

Power goes out= fire up the generator

Lol I wouldn't exactly call it a nice truck but thanks man

 

Sorry I should have said "Nice, Cool truck"

 

Or a POS

 

Don't remember if it was Rita, or Ike but Hwy 59 was a parking lot here in town. There was a few guys going around selling bottles of water for $5 to people stuck on the road
