Just like the title says. I was in the middle of all that mess and the car took the abuse like a champ! No scratches or anything but that's because nothing hit it. Some ants from where the car was in deep water but a quick trip down 290 probably shook them off

I can't say how great it is to finally be out of an apartment w/o water and electricity. I have been living like that for the last 3 days.

Glad you and your car made it through ok. Hopefully there are many others that made it through the hurricane/storm!

The City looks like crap. Everything is trashed and some highways turned into rivers courtesy of a heavy rain that followed the day after the winds stopped. But nothing comes close to what has happened to Galveston. I only found out today after getting to a functional TV.

Here's some pics I took.

My car after the water receeded (for the most part)
I-10 Katy freeway shot (not pretty).

Just curious, how high was the water on your car? Glad all is coming around for you all.

I think the deepest I had to face was about half way up my wheels maybe less then that. I'm glad my JLT is mounted up high.

If you didn't mention the second pic was of a freeway, I would've never guessed...

I know it was surreal but this time (unlike TS Allison) I didn't see anyone kayaking down the freeway. LOL

Click to expand...

I was going to say that it's probably a good time to take a power boat through the highway and film it so you can post it on YouTube. Glad you and the stang are OK.
