houston flooded 3

9 October 1998

Here is the original entry from when Houston flooded.

Walking down Montrose toward the intersection with Allen Parkway, we saw this.
"Wow; it's flooded."
Yes, but understand that Allen Parkway goes under that intersection.
Here is the normal version.

This was taken from the middle of the intersection. I like how the red light reflects on the water.
Notice how the red light is nearly washed out by the sunlight here.

Next we turned right along Allen Parkway and took a pic across the street. This bus was empty.
I didn't take a dry version of this shot.

A bit further down Allen Parkway we looked back toward the intersection. In the pic I can barely see the guy in white and lady in blue right in front of the yellow truck. The trucks did go across the street.
Here is the dry version.

Looking the other direction from the same location, the water was pouring over the guard rail. In the top right corner of that picture can be seen the reflection of this railroad tressel that crosses Allen Parkway.
The tressel again.

Here is the flood gauge that made us laugh so hard. It is somewhat past the railroad tressel.
Not flooded version.

And here are pics of Eric and me under the tressel. No parking here!!
Still no parking.

Walking back toward Montrose, we saw this helpful sign.
again.
