It is not fun. I was on freeways that do not flood and so I just had to drive slow and be careful.

My law firm shutdown when the bottom floor of the underground parking garage flooded. The parking garage flooded during Harvey.

I saw that the name of this storm is likely to be retired

Yes, mattress mac is a republican and is packing one or both of the GOP candidates running for mayor.

I stayed to roads that I knew did not flood and was happy to stay home when I got back. There are a ton of cars flooded on the freeways and there are a large number of people who just finished repairing their homes who will be starting over.

I was happy to see Judge Lina Hidalgo do a good job and Sylvester Turner was amazing today.

There is still a 50% chance of rain tomorrow but they are not expecting more flooding.
