It's Crazy, im still in awe....to think that two saturday's ago we (ls1tech Houston American Muscle Cruise) passed throught surfside not knowing that in 7 days it could all be nearly destroyed, I'm really wondering how those badass seaside mainsions held up and that one place we ate at....

 

Glad to hear that everybody is doing OK.

Of course, if somebody weren't doing alright, they probably wouldn't be posting on the internet...

 

Good luck to everyone getting their lives back in order. Looks like you all are taking the bull by the horns and getting it done.

 

Hey Nine ball you should get some Sea trains to store your car - Water tight.

I went to my friends house in Dickinson (on the bayou) after the water retreated and cleaned out his bottom floor of his house. He had 7ft of water in the downstairs. Was able to get the downstairs walls down and sprayed with bleach and water by Tuesday to control the mold. Brought him 80gal of gas, generator, air conditioner, food, water, and tools. Since they are saying 4-5wks with out power.

Here is the damage I did while there for 3 days.



Had to go back to work in Victoria, but will be back next week to see if any of his neighbors still need help.

 

good knight man! glad everything is ok n all. i hope for the best for everybody in houston

 

Whats up guys, still no power over here in groves, beaumont/port arthur area, my house made it out ok but the camaro got scraped up pretty bad from flyin debris. I have some pics on my phone of bridge city and they are bad, Ill load them up when we get power (posting from work right now). Trees down everywhere, power poles, fences, roofs etc. This reminds me way too much of rita from a few years ago

 

I just got back up and going yesterday around 7:30p. 7 days without power was harsh. I finished a lot of little things I have been wanting done around the house though. All that time with no distractions helped get some stuff done.

 

glad yall are all good down there, love this state, we kick *** now and take names later. **** gets done here in Texas! no need for outside help, we take care of our own!

 

Glad to see almst everyone made it through ok , still no power or water ,but we are makin it best we can . We are having to go to family's house in pearland to take showers and refill water bottles ta flush the toilet. all vehicles made it through with just a few scratches on the T/A ....all in all felt we were pretty lucky for staying.. wont be staying for anymore of these little storms,learned my lesson the hard way!!!!!

 

sorry for the thumbnails but my photbucket isnt working right now

I took the first 4 in bridge city right by the water, it completely destroyed 2 and ripped the walls out of the other 2

the next 2 were in nederland, tx

then an apartment complex in port arthur

A market in Groves this was around 2 pm before it hit later on the water was over the roof (I didnt take this pic)

And finally Archoverseer sent me the last pic of a buddies 350Z in Orange

 

Wow! I have an Aunt, Uncle and cousin that live in Port Arthur and they say the didn't have any major damage and they have a generator and window unit to stay cool.

Those pics make me wonder if they are playing it down to keep the family over here from worrying. It looks like y'all got quite alot of damage.

Wonder what the big bridge looks like in Bridge City?

 

^ Its fine its been open for a few days

 

Tony,

How did your sister come out at her house? In my section of the neighborhood it looks like the one story houses faired better than the two storys ! We had a little shingle damage but nothing else...I hope for those without power you get it back soon and for those who don't have to work help out or volunteer it will make you feel good no matter what your situation!!

 

Just met some more evacuees from Houston today here in austin. I bar-tend on the weekends on 6th street at a blues bar. Been trying my best to show everyone how austin is. Even got a job for a few houstinites while things settle. Hopefully things will get fixed up soon. Seem's to be alot worse than the media makes it out to be.

 

Houstonites? Yuck. We say "Houstonians" here

Still no power at my house. Posting from my Dad's

 

I bet after all of this the new house gets a whole house generator installed

 

which blues bar do you work at nunos? my dads office is on sixth street right next to orellys pub, and logans! I'm downtown area a lot but never saw your car. . .

 

Glad to hear you're okay! I was evacuated for a little over two weeks during the last Socal fire storm, so I know how much it sucks to be out of the loop!

 

BAck and everyone is fine

 

Back at work and still without power in my area. Can't really complain to much since our house made it out of all this in good shape. I know there are many others in a much worse situation than just without power.
