cdhstang Posted September 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (can't believe it's almost my turn:D:D) I have been paying close attention to the weather and after the recent flooding in Galveston I am a little worried. I see they are calling for rain starting Thursday and continuing through the weekend. For those in the area, will the weather be an issue for flooding?

Texas Tillie Posted September 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (can't believe it's almost my turn:D:D) I have been paying close attention to the weather and after the recent flooding in Galveston I am a little worried. I see they are calling for rain starting Thursday and continuing through the weekend. For those in the area, will the weather be an issue for flooding? No one who has spent any time in Texas would dare to predict what "might" happen with the weather more than a few hours out! ;p Now, I'm inclined to think it will be OK this weekend, but won't fall over in a dead faint if it does flood! However, I think you'll be OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aknguyen Posted September 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Where did this sudden fear of Galveston flooding all the time come from? I'm really confused. Anyway, the forecast doesn't look like a problem to me. There was no mention of flooding, torrential rains, or anything of the sort as of this morning's newscast. Just scattered rain showers.

I may have been misinformed, but was told there was bad flooding last week. I also saw a video from two weeks ago with cruise passengers walking through ankle to mid calf water. While I would wade through water to get to my cruise I would rather not. I used to live in Galveston (as a little girl) and loved playing in the little bit of flood water. Not so much as an adult, though. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a vacation planned , come and enjoy the island and the cruise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aknguyen Posted September 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I think the reason that was on the news was because it's not normal. It happened once, drained away in a couple of hours, and is fine now. Still no mention of flooding on today's newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aknguyen Posted September 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2018 This morning, the news said it's going to rain off and on all weekend. But the showers are going to be scattered and short lived. The only mention of flooding was specifically for low lying streets in Houston, which is a potential each and every time it rains ever. In other words, you might need an umbrella but you'll get to the boat just fine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
