You forgot to map out your escape route, oh and the 10 extra Gas Cans you need when all the pumps go "dry" and you are sitting in traffic for 5 hours having only driven 20 miles because mst of Texas are running scared on the same day

Can't drive out do to the flood...Need a boat.

ChocolateBabz

Batteries man...must buy ALL the batteries...flashlights and bog roll.

PLAN B: None of the above just buy booze

I was working on Plan C - the 4th item on my shopping list would take care of all others


On a similar, but scary vein.......I had a rather disconcerting conversation with an (ex-Army) Dad at soccer last week....implored me to research Jade Helm and prepare myself to defend our freedoms against the coming era of the nazi states of america...and he wasn't even a Texan

I get very uncomfortable around nutjobs, I can't fake taking them seriously very well

Yorkieabroad

I think he went away with the impression that I was just another emasculated disarmed English sheep that couldn't be relied on to man the barricades, but in a pinch, may be good on the grill ........

ChocolateBabz

LOL - well done, mission accomplished, keep 'em guessing.

We went to see San Andreas last night - 2 plummy English dudes relying on a hot California teen girl to see them through the worst - questionable accents, acting and plot, but highly amusing (not sure if that's what they were going for )

Weeze

Here we go again. Hunker down people.

petitefrancaise

I don't bloody believe it!
I think we will catch the edge of it. Hope you Houstonians (?) will be ok.

Anyone got any wellies hanging around?

scrubbedexpat097

Heading straight for us. Just hope it is all hype and it fizzles out

I am already over worked testing all the flooded water wells from the last heavy flooding. Looks like no time off for me anytime soon

Weeze

Yep, we are smack bang in the middle of the predicted heaviest rainfall bit.

Stay safe Weeze family xx

It's odd. Everything seems to be cancelled, but it's light drizzle. Every kids camp seems to be cancelled except ours!

scrubbedexpat097

It's a bit blowy with a lot of rain bands here. Work didn't cancel on us so we left the house early this morning. This afternoon is supposed to get worse, hopefully we can leave early

Mr Weeze

I'm working from home today - office is closed, presumably because they don't want us all in the Galleria area when it comes to going home time.

Went to the local Kroger last night and there was a full on panic for water. I bought some beer and cake. Nutek would have been proud.
