Well, it _was_ raining here a few hours ago - but nothing like that. 
I didn't sleep that night at all.

The Spouse and I and two friends had just visited the new Central 
Market for the first time early in the evening of Friday the 8th.  By 
the time we were driving home, Westheimer was completely flooded and 
water was seeping into the car.  Fortunately, our four-plex is set on 
a five-foot rise above the street - water lapped up to our front 
steps, but was two feet short of actually getting into the building.

We were worried, though - we're within walking distance of Buffalo Bayou.

Another friend of ours had no damage to his duplex, but couldn't 
leave the house - his street was blocked at both ends by water too 
high to drive through for two days.

Ai.
