We are fine mate, thanks for asking. We live in The Woodlands which is around 28 miles north of downtown. We have an excellent drainage system so we never have a problem. The sad truth is though it just funnels the water off into the neighboring communities eventually.

I heard this morning that in four days more than 600 Trillion gallons of water fell on the greater Houston area, more than 200,000 cars were flooded and the number of flooded and abandoned homes is likely to be in the tens of thousands. Luckily, although they have not got a count yet, the fatalities are relatively small given the scale of the disaster.

Out of interest, where do you live in the States?
