Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
I still remember when Hermskii was holed up in his house (he and a few tough neighbors also in their homes) in a bad hurricane years back.
It doesn't look good this time around either - How is it going there Hermskii???

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
The local weather reports said that Texas, including the Huston area, could get upwards of 500mm of rain. (19.7 inches)!!!
I am very concerned. I hope you can't see this thread because you're busy driving north, Herm!
Let us know later, when you can, please.

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
I know where he lives, and he is a pretty good distance in from the coast (Google maps has his house about 50 to 60 miles or so in), however the land there is pretty flat and not much elevation from the ocean.
With the srorm surge and the rain, I am guessing it will be quite iffy.
I texted him a bit ago to check on him and his family and his plan of action, or not.

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
FYI - I did hear back from Hermskii a bit later on Friday evening in a few texts ...
1 -
"We stayed. Houston is far from the bad part and this house has never been close to flooding."
and
2 -
"We will be fine. Thanks.
We stayed as did all others around us."
From the news reports, I kinda question -> "Houston is far from the bad part"
I hope he is right about all that, and he and his family are safe!
I am guessing he is without power, etc., right now.

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
Well yes, but that was last Friday and we know that Houston got hammered in the days after that.Hook wrote:FYI - I did hear back from Hermskii a bit later on Friday evening in a few texts ...

So I'm wondering how things turned out in Herm's part of town and if his house and yard were flooded. I am hoping that he lives on relatively high ground, and that the worst he now has to put up with is no power or internet, and living off of bottled water.

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
Sorry folks. I have been busy. I and my family are perfectly good to go. We are high and dry. Power flickered a couple of times but never turned off more than a minute. There was no flooding at my house but several sister neighborhoods got nuked. In 50 years I have never seen so much flooding around Houston.
I have seen awful things in the last few days but like I said, the family and I are good to go. Thank you very much for your concern. Since we don't need help, we are helping others. It is what the HOH family does.

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
Great News!!!
Also, Just as I thought ...
"Knowing Hermskii as I do, I would bet that he is busy helping people out!"

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
Hermskii, this may be an inappropriate question but did you make pictures of the happening(s)?
If so, mind sharing them? I'm curious.

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
That is very good news indeed, and a relief to hear, that you and yours are okay. I know you stayed dry in the past. But when the news reported that homes that were high and dry until reservoir flood gates had to be opened, and thereby causing them to be flooded anyhow, I was worried.Hermskii wrote: I and my family are perfectly good to go.

The news that nearby Beaumont Texas lost their water supply due to overwhelming pollution was upsetting too. Take care when you're wading around in that toxic soup, Herm!

Re: Hurricane Harvey hitting Hermskii - AGAIN!
It wasn't pollution that caused the failure. It was pumps that failed and they have been replaced.
Traffic sux in Houston as some of our best and busiest roads are still under 12+ feet of water. If the reservoirs break we are all screwed.
This will all be looked at very closely and they will make major changes to fix this flat place. One smart thing they could do is move the reservoirs south of Houston.
So many things could be better.
My family and I are blessed that we have dodged this bullet.

My Brother lives in North Port FL.
Irma went right over his area, but he is fine! YAY
He had updated all his Hurricane barriers on his house in the last year or so, so things went well for his house.
This was a great thing to do!
