I'm on the west side of I-45 (Gulf Freeway) about 8 miles from the freeway near the intersection of FM 528 & FM 518. I'm closer to the Alvin city limits than I am the freeway.

Elevation is 42 feet - the drainage district jokingly calls this area "Mount Friendswood". We didn't flood during the TS Claudia which dropped 43 inches in about 24 hours, so I think I will be OK.

Ok... that's good. Then stock up on Oreos! And.. batteries.

When my first son was born, we lived very near you.. in a condo just behind the State Farm agent that has the lighthouse. :-)

And.. BTW.. it was T.S. Claudette... and, yea.. it was 48" in 24 hours... if you stayed dry then, you're good to go!
