- ahoyhoy, on 04/28/2009, -2/+25Glad to know a modern day Texan Noah's Ark consists of a Pick-up with monster tires.
- IHaveCrayons, on 04/29/2009, -1/+17I am from Houston and I swear half of the people here are just waiting for floods like this so they finally make use of their trucks with huge lifts. I remember at my high school almost everyone had a jacked up truck. Hell, I have a truck and I'm Asian.
- thebeginning, on 04/29/2009, -1/+13Better be prepared to say goodbye to their oil refineries, NASA, and 87 billion in annual tax revenue.
- Gyp2, on 04/29/2009, -0/+8If you look at the pics, the streets are the only things that are flooded. The city was planed this way. The streets drain to the bayous. It rains a lot in Houston and when the flooding mostly just affects the streets, that's a good thing.
- scubaninja, on 04/29/2009, -2/+9Watch out for cars with mildew problems to hit the used market in a few weeks.
- adremali, on 04/29/2009, -0/+6what a douche
- Kaegro, on 04/29/2009, -3/+9Hey, all those crazy huge gas guzzling trucks aren't completely useless, they'll keep your feet dry. and your wallet.
- jah37066, on 04/29/2009, -1/+7He's compensating for his small... boat.
- flamesoftheend, on 04/29/2009, -4/+9Hustowned
- GlitchEnzo, on 04/29/2009, -0/+4"Well there's flooding down in Texas. All of the telephone lines are down."
- 0firefly0, on 04/29/2009, -0/+4You mean a bull.
- MrFurious2k, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3You just know that guy with the monster truck was praying for an event like that.
- DirtyVicar, on 04/29/2009, -0/+3It's just incredible that fire ants will live through all that. I guarantee you in a month those flooded areas will have fire ant mounds the height of a soccer ball.
- shdwfx, on 04/29/2009, -2/+5I wonder if that's the flipside of having no state income tax... the drainage system sucks! Of course, the roads suck too in Houston, but that's beside the point there.
***** it, I'd rather get flooded a few times a year and keep my money. Go Texas! - thebeginning, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2Nope, it was a cow. Even female cattle have balls in Texas.
- bossm4n, on 04/29/2009, -1/+3I'd like to know of another basically flat city that can effectively handle 10+ inches of rain that falls in a few hours, on top of already saturated ground. And the roads in Houston are almost all brand new, especially the area shown in several of those photos. In fact those cars under water are in an area still under construction under I-10.
- thebeginning, on 04/29/2009, -1/+3I live just north of there, and yes, it was bad. An hour long trip from Downtown took almost 4 hours this afternoon.
Rain is awesome. Storms are awesome. Flooding is not. - dannymb877, on 04/29/2009, -1/+3FIXED: Houstowned
- CheesyPoofs, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2I live in Dallas, the few times I have ever been to Houston I have never cared much for the place.
- ElecBoy, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2This guy is crazy, trying to go that way
http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/houstonstreetfloo ... - 1MACVEEDUB, on 04/29/2009, -0/+2No flood warning? The fact that it floods in the same areas all the time is flood warning enough. That's what happens when if rains really fast and really hard.
BTW I'm from Houston as well. - inactive, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1houston we have a problem..
- fafaforza, on 04/29/2009, -0/+1Don't drive through the water at 30mph?
- dagamer34, on 04/29/2009, -1/+2Oh *****, I was driving in that crap yesterday too. I had to pull over for two hours because it was raining so bad!
- Pawfoots, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1I bet there will be a mound sooner than that ...
- maliath, on 04/29/2009, -1/+2No truck balls?
- splosion, on 04/29/2009, -0/+1...just call 777-7777
- rmfootball69, on 04/30/2009, -0/+1Then people would be complaining about how long they were taking.
- w00master, on 04/29/2009, -3/+4And your point is? 1. There's still a free market. 2. Capitalism Exists. 3. Free Trade exists.
So, sounds like your another one of those right wing nutjobs. Congrats. - inactive, on 04/29/2009, -0/+1Good point. Texans love any Ark built by Noah, or anything that resembles such Ark.
- carl25, on 04/29/2009, -0/+1don't worry guys, rooters is here
- seednumber69, on 04/29/2009, -2/+2ha, yea that kinda sucked. i live in houston and this was actually days ago, but some parts did get this bad, as there was no flood warning and so people would just drive somewhere and get stuck trying to leave. its not that houston is prone to flooding, just that it came on really fast and rained really hard. and no, the power didn't go out for some reason.
- evisr8r, on 04/29/2009, -0/+0no... he castrated a rancher.
- thebullisred, on 04/29/2009, -1/+1I woke up to that rain this morning.
- rmfootball69, on 04/29/2009, -1/+1How would you propose not making a wake, a hovercraft?
- milkmit, on 04/29/2009, -6/+5Seems kinda fitting that the same kind of person who is douchey enough to own a "monster" truck like that hideous thing would also tear ass down a flooded street so the neighbors who are still just barely *not* flooded soon will be, thanks to him.
What an ass. - RiMac, on 04/29/2009, -2/+1Yeah, I had the same situation at my high school...
- nicktomyskins, on 04/29/2009, -1/+0i always thought the lift was just for looks, who woulda thought?
- akchrs, on 04/29/2009, -2/+1I'm all for the lifted 4X4 but not for the wake he's making that's probably going to make even more of a mess in those peoples homes.
- tobias19, on 04/29/2009, -3/+2Maybe that will slow down the Rockets for game six. Portland thrives on rain.
- akchrs, on 04/29/2009, -4/+2Obama: I believe in the free market, I believe in capitalism, I believe in free trade…
- Foenetik, on 04/29/2009, -3/+1I think truck nuts are illegal now.
- thebeginning, on 04/29/2009, -3/+1Go a tad farther north to more rural areas and you'll find truck balls.
One guy I know actually castrated a cow (rancher) and used those. That's Texas for ya. - slyzxx, on 04/29/2009, -4/+2Dugg for the 4 x 4 truck on the lift.
- FatGuyLilCoat, on 04/29/2009, -2/+0Jesus Christ, my aunt lives there. They just went through the hurricane a few months back - over $20,000 in damages to her home - and now this *****. If there is a god, he hates Houston!
- fangorious, on 04/29/2009, -3/+1Almost everyone I know here in Houston, and back in Austin, feel the same about Dallas.
- thisismydigg, on 04/29/2009, -3/+1hmmm kinda though of houston as more of a spitter
- AquaOSX, on 04/29/2009, -5/+2Lifted Truck: "***** you, I'm special."
