re: OT: Stay safe fellow Houston posters

Our friends in Dickinson got out by boat but their house is literally underwater (all you can see is the roof and attic windows). My buddy who is from NOLA and lived through Katrina in HS said that, while that was worse from a loss of life standpoint, the sheer volume of rain doesn't even compare. Just hours of the hardest unrelenting rain he's ever seen.

This is the most devastating flooding in US history from the perspective of number of individuals effected.
