Last night, Houston was hit by pretty much a monsoon.
We have 13'-15' of water in some areas, and closer to the Bayou it's more like 30'
They're calling it a historic flood.
Rescue vehicles are still unable to reach some places.
Numerous vehicles are stranded on most of the major roadways.
Over 60,000 people are currently without power.
These are just some eyewitness photos that were sent into a local news station. Source: http://abc13.com/weather/massive-flooding-all-across-houston/79120/
Again, please keep all of us in your thoughts/prayers. At least 1 person has been confirmed dead so far. I don't have many more stats right now because things are kind of hectic right now. Checking in with family and friends to make sure they're all safe. Recovery is going to take some time.

As a Texan, I'm about sick and fucking tired of rain.

Parts of 45N are still under water so I'm not driving to work today.

They're advising everyone in the major flood areas to stay home today.

I have family here. I heard of the flooding. I did not expect this! They are safe though and doing fine thankfully!
ImFamished
That's good to hear!

And they told everyone at the Rocket's game to stay. If they would have lost that place would have been violent.

I live in Arkansas and the river here is overflowing. If it gets much higher, we will be under water as well.

Do not drive through flooded waters, no matter if you think your vehicle can do it. Common sense people.

It's a good way to feel like you're contributing without actually doing anything.

That first one is about 2 miles from my house.
ImFamished
Are you okay?
badwolfandtheoncomingstorm
Yeah, like OP said. You okay? If you need help, lemme know. I'd do what I can...
TheUnknownMeme
actually I lucked out. Other than the power going out, I was fine. Guess I picked a good high spot.
badwolfandtheoncomingstorm
Hey! I'm in Houston! I think I'm okay where I am, though, so if I can help out, OP, let me know.
mellowdrama
Maybe you can help out via the ARC http://www.redcross.org/tx/houston/volunteer
ImFamished
I'm okay where I am, too, thankfully.
badwolfandtheoncomingstorm
Okay, awesome!
ImFamished
If anyone in the Houston area needs help, let me know. I don't know what all I can do to help, but I'll do what I can.
starzzz
Same from me. If anybody in Houston area needs any help, will do whatever I can

My poor Cameron the Camry flooded. Wet floorboards and electronics spazzing. :-(
ImFamished
:( I know that feel. My car flooded two weeks ago in Webster, still dealing with that. Hopefully Cameron isn't totaled!

Spent over an hour vacuuming, still got a nasty smell! Gonna try detailing and.see what happens. Nice of you to offer support! :-)

Oh yeah, definitely go somewhere they can deep clean your carpet. Hopefully that will keep any mold or mildew from growing.
