[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1335798, member: 52978"] We had a tropical storm here in Houston about 10 years ago. Hurricanes have more wind, but TS's usually don't move really fast, and therefore can dump large amounts of rain..This town floods, and this particularl Friday, it poured day and into my night run. I had gone thru some 2 ft deep water earlier in the night, but a tractor can handle that. My last leg was across town and all I had to do was get back to the building and FW. My regular route back to the building was so deep that all you could see of 18-wheelers was the antennas sticking up out of the water. I had to drive completely around town at about 10 mph..trying back roads I knew, dealing with closed roads and accidents. Another driver took a detour and ended up stopped in the middle of I10 with a set up pups from Friday night till Sunday afternoon. Took me about 3 hours to go 15 miles. Got to the building, punched out Saturday morning about 4am. Our building was an island and even though I drive a 3/4ton Silverado, I couldn't get through the water. Drove back to the building, slept in the front seat of my pickup. Finally got home around 4pm Saturday after some of the water went down. [/QUOTE]
