My heart dropped...

Damn. That's sucks.

 

I would have done the same thing. Love for the tacos runs deep! Even though that was a gen 1 tundra

 

I might need a v10 motor.....

 

Like I said. Shit's fucked up and stuff. Water isn't draining away.

 

Hell! Sorry!

 

So sorry

 

You can replace a V. The viper tho... vipers are special in their own way

 

We would have put it on jack stands but that it's hard to get that car in the air without a lift. Especially with limited space and water coming in quickly.

 

Damn. Damn damn damn. MsWalla and I both wish you the best in a terrible situation. Wish we could jump in a lend a hand.

 

Holy shit.

 

That's messed up!!!

hope it doesn't rise any more

 

You'd think they learn from Katrina....guess not

Not to mention the last 2 yrs in the month of May how badly Houston can flood.

 

Exactly!! Young folks that stay because they want to - well it was their choice. But the folks in the home - Who are they gonna blame that on?

 

the caretakers, durrr. but yeah feel bad for those old folks.

 

If you have ever been to Houston then you'd know that an evacuation isn't as simple as it sounds. You would literally have to evacuate a week before the storm hits just to give time for everyone to get off the roads. There would be immense traffic and not sure if there's enough fuel and would end up with people being trapped on the side of the road or in traffic.

The safest thing for people to do was to stay home and just goto their attics and wait it out.

People upset about vehicles and all that is fine. You can buy another vehicle. All that matters is that most people are safe for the most part. Some are just panicking and over reacting

 

For the record, I was questioning the nursing home on why they haven't evacuated. But I just heard on cnn that, I think, a nurse (head nurse??) had a backup plan. I just hope she gets them out before it gets up to their necks.

From what the weather service is predicting Houston will probably see another 2ft of rain.

 

That idk... I know the nursing home in my town is evacuating tomorrow morning cause the river is gonna fuck our little town up

 

Was mainly talking about the old folks who are at the mercy of others.

 

CNN reported that the elderly folks had been evacuated around noon today.
