Maybe you read about Tropical Storm Allison, and all the water it dumped on Houston? I made it home fine the previous night by taking Kirby and Shepherd. In the morning, however, my route home was deeply under water. White Oak Bayou had overflown its banks. | ||

The signs tell the story. | ||
You have to feel sorry for some of the cars that didn't make it (although the Suburban sure did make a good effort). | |
Wandering south along the shore of I-45, the local roads were flooded as well. Many people foolishly ignored a home-made sign and found impassable roads and flooded apartments shortly afterward. | |
After the water receded, you could get across the White Oak Bayou and then you could see I-10 and Hwy. 59. Apparently looters were trying to steal beer from the Budweiser truck. | |
