Flood season has officially arrived in Houston.
Hey folks. You might remember me from the infamous Hurricane Rita evacuation thread.
Well, I have a few pictures here from earlier this morning. Not too much good news. I was woken up around 2-3 am, from very loud thunder. A little later, very hard rain, and much more thunder. We lost power around 4 am. I then went to go check on things outside around 5 am, and found the entire neighborhood under about 17" of water. Here are some pictures.

Here are a couple more. Unfortunatley, the IROC-Z took alot of water, before we could do anything. These pictures are after the water had resided a couple of inches.

And now, the RX-7. Unfortunatley this time I wasn't able to do much to stop the water. I was really caught off gaurd. These pictures are after I had already put 6" blocks under the tires.
The little CRX took alot of water also, but it doesn't have much of an interior. The RX-7 seats inside the CRX were soaked. The ECU of the CRX was also under water.
The RX-7 didn't take it so bad, but still had plenty of water inside. The floor had about 4 inches of water. My RTEK ECU was also partially submerged.

The 7 is a little wet on the inside, and the carpet is going to stink, but it's ok. I have a vacuum and a brush. The IROC took a bad hit. The interior was filled up prettty high. Looks like another project soon.
Here are a couple more pics from down the street.

During tropical storm Allison (2001) we had right about the same amount of water, but the water rose over a period of about 5 hours, and it was in the afternoon. During Hurricane Rita (2005), our neighbors told us that the water never rose over 5 inches. The local news station reported that in 75 minutes, ~5.5 inches of rain fell.
My brothers home, next door, was the worse. We awoke him at ~4:35 am, and he found his home had about 8 inches of water in it. Thats 8" of water, in the big screen, in the drawers, in the shelves, in the appliances, and everywhere.
1-0, mother nature leads.

I have a little extra water in my pool, and we had to take the day off due to the fact that you can't paint home exteriors in the rain. I hope my spec RX-7 project car is ok, it is sitting in a backyard down near Pearland. I was supposed to get it today, but wasn't sure if I could get to it.

hondahater: Where exactly are you located???
Scott: I hope you project favored as well as my other project. It sits much closer to the ship channel, and was on fairly high ground: no damage.
EDIT:
Mother Nature: Your really starting to **** me off.
