Houston-area check-in after The Semi-Great Flood

Mojo · April 29, 2013

Some folks around here took a huge beating over the weekend, as parts of the Greater Houston area received up to 8" of rain with isolated patches of golf-ball-sized hail. This is a check-in to see how folks weathered.

Me: Missouri City got 8" of rain. I am now doing the happy dance that I actually built raised beds this year. Everything of mine looks fine, but I'll need to watch the squashes for signs of "going Hulk."

Roy and Shelly (some of you know them): they had hail at their place. I won't repost the picture of the otherwise-innocent Kosovo that got chopped in half by the hail. Their crops took a beating.

Westbury Community Garden: widespread devastation. I think they got completely underwater at one point, but am not sure. The hail did fall there, judging from the photos I saw.
