Paula, Did you hear the siren? It was because a tornado supposedly touched down in Hunters Creek. It's what woke me up. I didn't even know there was one!!

I didn't have flood insurance either and plan on getting it ASAP. But, like I said, having brick floors in there saved me!!

We live down the street from the bayou, so usually our street doesn't flood because it drains down to it well. But like I said, the other night, the street looked like a river, and it was flowing really fast! If someone had been walking in that water, I can see how they could have been swept away!

I drove over the Beltway - I-10 intersection today and knew that divers were down there in the culverts looking for the car and driver. So sad, he leaves a wife and 11 year old daughter. Scary thing is that he was right in front of Sams when his car started floating in the water. That guy tried to hold on to the bumper, but the current was so strong that it sucked that car right into the drain! They need to get those covers on those drains right away!!!
