I heard this last night:
“This rain event is of historic proportion,” from Bill Balleza of KPRC-TV.
It was pretty intense as I was keeping up with last night’s flood tweets, like:

Every #Houston TV station is in live weather coverage currently except #KHOU.
#KHOU did finally get off their arse and come back on.
Then this funny one:
Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron 1m1 minute ago
Harris County rainfall for 24 hours. http://www.harriscountyfws.org/ Yep, this qualifies as a toad strangler. #houwx #hounews
In the middle of last night’s flood evvent I fired off a couple that got some response:

The gizmo kept going off with emergency alert tweets.
Name the MLB club with the best road record?
More on the color of gravitas with a tweet and a Kuffer take:

New sheriff replaces women, minorities w/white men. What did Garcia think would happen when he let Republican become sheriff?
And Kuffer:
Let’s stipulate up front that the new guy gets to put in his people. That’s expected and understood. Garcia’s people had to know this was coming, and Campos is correct that none of this happens if he had stayed put. And he still has some slots to fill, so this isn’t the end of the story. But come on, you can’t have an all-white-guy command staff at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in 2015. Anyone who claims that the best-qualified candidates in every case so far just happen to be white guys is not in touch with reality. I mean, we all know this, right? Give Sheriff Hickman the benefit of the doubt for now, but let’s keep an eye on this. In the meantime, I agree with Stace: It would be nice to have a Democratic candidate or two announce their intention to run. This is the marquee race now, let’s get it going.
Here is all of Kuffer: http://offthekuff.com/wp/?p=67407
I recently drove the North Rail Line and the East End Rail Line. There sure are quite a few boarded up businesses right next to the tracks. I wonder if folks will reinvest in those sites.
The ‘Stros at 14-7 of course have the best road record in MLB.
Good thing we are on the road. It would not have been pretty with another 17,000 plus in Downtown H-Town last night.
