Hoping our Texas Members are dry and safe.

Yes! That goes double.:(

Seems like Texas weather is in the news all the time lately. Hope every one is safe.

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

I'm with you guys Hope everyone in the lone Star state is safe and dry.

Little soggy around the edges but all good. More rain to come but then we'll get back into the 90's and with this rain the humidity will be horrible for a while. Thanks for the thoughts and hope my fellow Texas brothers are good, too.

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

Yep, we are completely water logged and it will be raining solid through Sat. Not sure where we are going to put it all.

Thanks for thinking of us, guys.

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

Thanks Guys, it is definitely not time to be driving the ZR-1 around.
Please don't drive through high water even in the Trucks and Jeeps.

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

We got 3 or more inches again yesterday. At least another two in the last hour. Roads flood in my neighborhood now after just 1 inch. Amazing.

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

I hope you all are safe.
Very dry here in So. Cal.
It would be nice to receive SOME
of your water. We have been told to:
Take shorter showers, don't water our yards.
CAN'T WASH OUR CARS! We are supposed to
take them to a car wash where the water is recycled.
Good luck to Texas!

:cheers:

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

Seems like there oughta be a way to pipe excess water from the midwest/south out to Ca and Az... Like use old pipelines to tap into the rivers when they are in flood and send it West. Or build a big new one. Expensive yes - but might pay off in the long run???

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

Stay dry and safe Texan Brothers! Storming pretty bad here on the east coast as well. Lightening pretty bad as well. There's a house down the street on the golf course that got struck earlier and is on fire:cry:

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

It could be done as a Huge Public works project. think of the employement opportunity for the US. Every time the Missiissippi overflows and you have epic flooding like this in Texas.

Re: Thinking of Our Texas Members
 

I am dying to drive this car but the rain won't stop. So I have spent two nights this week in the garage getting to know her. Hopefully next week I can get her out and through inspections to get her registered. Good thing she is use to sitting idle for long periods of time. FYI, the street in front of the house will get 2.5ft of water in no time. Then it disappears an hour after the rain stops. This is insane.

All the lakes in Texas are man made with the exception of one; Caddo Lake. When they were mapping these lakes out and designing them I don't know why they didn't connect them all for flood control. They could have used a hub and spoke design and opened one valve while closing others.

Of course, what we're dealing with right now is more flash flood than anything else. Like Eric said...an hour after the flood the water recedes. That's not a lake issue. I agree with GC. It would still be a great public works project. They could employ inmates at .60 a day for labor. Before I get flamed I have a family member in prison who would love to go outside and actually work. And he'd do it for free.
