It seems that with the water already splashing over the seawall in Galveston this isnt going to be good at all.

Not looking good in Seabrook. I live about 2 blocks away from taylor lake, and about 1 mile from 146. This is going to be insane. The animals are all freaking out, but its relatively quiet right now.

I will just keep sippin on that Coors.

Its crazy how quite it has been and it has not rained yet kemah is under water..... this is not looking good.

I have my truck at a tranny shop thats close to the water hoping to get it serviced, as we were going to start using it to tow the viper, however im concerned that it is even going to be there when i get back

Lauren and i were just looking to get a boat and were going to use that truck to tow it It was hard as hell to find a decently low mileage 7.3L crew cab f250 that had never towed before
