Think that's far in enough? I'm in west Houston, near I-10 and the Beltway, and I'm getting nervous.
My Sugar Land house has never flooded, even when all the streets around me were. It came up on the driveway a couple of times, but that was when pretty much everyone else was already swimming.
Now, if this thing grows strong enough to knock down a brick structure then no, it's not far enough and I'm screwed.
As far as the Galveston house goes, well... I suspect that's going to be gone.
