Things are locked down here:



That storm surge is going to be a ****. You talk to Phil or anyone else down towards the coast/bay?

Here is another thread in the lounge we've been having: https://www.rx7club.com/lounge-192/hurricane-ike-785758/

 

Well i have talked to phil on AIM and he has said that the water is all ready pretty high, He is on like a 19ft hill before the cars go underwater, and the house is 3 levels.


If anyone wanted to have a quick look at the weather in the Freeport/Galveston area weather underground is a good place, it shows the local weather stations.

Heh you can come up to dallas and stay if you're interested on helping me install a thrust bearing on the fb.

 

SW Houston area (Meadows Place) was not bad. We only lost electricity for about 12 hours and water for about 7. Most damaage around here is fences and trees.

"I survived hurricanes Alicia and Ike, and tropical storm Allison"!

 

I hope everybody on the forum is ok...

 

No power here since late Friday/early Saturday morning.... water pressure is nearly nothing.

A few scattered neighbors have electricity, we are hanging out at a neighbors down the street, her house got power yesterday because it shares power with the local school and grocecry store we understand.

Lots of tress and fences down, some houses have trees in or on them but mine only lost some shingles. DSL came back online sometime today, so I will be checking in periodically.

Talked to Chuck, he is in good shape on a generator although I don't know if he has been to his house yet.

 

Chuck told me his house and animals are OK. They did not suffer any damage other than no eletrical power to the house..

 

Glad you guys survived! When I watched the news and heard of the damage, all I could think about was those poor southern Texas RX-7 guys!

 

we got a lot of water in clear lake, still no power or internet. I am at UH right now. willl post storm pics/vids later.

vert made it by 2-3 feet :-)

 

this shitty site woulden't let me post more than 10 pics per post, so here is an album with pictures and videos of before,during,and after.

Here are some of my unedited post-hurricane pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/kwhanna/HurricaneIke#

Including the orphan squirrel we are taking care of.

 

Keith is now a father. Congratulations!

 

LOL, just another addition to our zoo...

 

I think the cat likes him too. Glad everyone is safe.

 

How cute! hah!

 

I hate to break up the thread but, I was wondering if you guys could tell me how I could get in contact with Gotham Racing since there phone has been out of service since monday morning. I know there are near Dallas if I remember rite. Did Dallas get hit hard then.

As far as Gotham send a PM to pluto and be paitent.

 

Gotham is in north Ft Worth, they hardly got a drop of rain there. If their phone is out it isn't because of the storm.

I live in Dallas, about a mile west of I-35E, we got only light rain in the afternoon. The majority of the wet stuff was east of Dallas.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I hope that everyone is okay. If and when I make it down there I would love to check out some FD's in the area. Or if some of you need help cleaning up Im more than willing to help.

 

Are you coming down to Houston, because I don't think Dallas is going to need much help.

FWIW - Houston is nearly 300 miles away from Dallas (people not from Texas usually don't realize that)

 

Well I didnt know what. Your state is to big. LOL

 

Ike sucked! We stayed thru the storm and after a couple of days without power we fled to Austin and San Antonio for a vacation. Lost our back fence and had some water come into one of our rooms during the first half of the storm, water was blowing under some shingles/etc.

Damned amazing that a cat 2 could totally shut down Houston. Friends of mine in Kingwood say another two weeks for power and in the Woodlands they are saying three weeks plus. Friends of mine in Katy never lost power or cable, we're moving there long term.

 

Good to hear you and the family are ok KK, Our neighrbood has power to about 1 in 4 homes, typically in 5 to 10 house sections. We are living with a neighbor right now. I've got power and DSL so it's all good for me.

If you need a hand once you get home, just give me a call.
