Flood gates at Texas City refinery are closing today. I am off Monday. Preparing generator, and stocking up. Could be a big one but doubt it will be any worse than we are used to getting. I spent 4 days and nights in our flooded bard with our horses due to Harvey floods.. As long as t his one keeps moving we’re good. It’s when they stall that flooding gets real bad.

We live very close to Cedar Bayou close to a big ditch that runs into Cedar Bayou very close to Trinity bay. Our townhouse foundation is 2-3 feet above the ground level. Didn’t get a drop of water in our house during Harvey.

A big problem in SE Texas is there is really no place for the water to go if we get another storm even if it dumps only half the amount of rain in a short time period.
