Hey Ray, Engine, Alan, everybody else. Any damage from the floods? Everybody safe? Took 90 minutes to get home from work instead of the usual 30. Lights were out for 5 hours. Check in to let us know you're ok, and that you didn't lose your MM driving through high water.

Those tornadoes in Sugar Land went right over my house! Luckily the Marauder wasn't home.

Got home fine, and didn't need the ark, thankfully. I stayed at work until about 8 pm, then radio station gave me hint to take San Philipe out to west tollway, instead of regular 610 to 290W. I was home (Grant and Jones) in 40 minutes. Very cool especially compared to my buddy who took over 4 hours to make it his home from the medical center!

I was recently looking into a new house near Cypress Creek, but this was a reminder that Houston is not the area to take on flood plain risks.

Glad to hear you guys made it thru OK also.
