Stay safe out there in Southern Texas!!!

I can promise this....

 

Rockport has a curfew 7pm to 7am. Not expecting power or water for two weeks. Brother's house reportedly in good shape.Tree fell on his pickup, the '90 Jeep Comanche I sold him when I bought my Tundra. That was my baby for 23 years. Anyway, we'll be down there tomorrow. Probably stay a couple days. He's the pharmacist in charge at the Rockport Walmart, and they want him back at work like yesterday.

 

I'm in corpus if y'all need ANYTHING I'll pm you my cell # I live 25 min from rock port and have food shelter and a generator

 

So I am living thru this. I live 2 miles away from the Brazos and it is going to crest soon. We remained under voluntary evac, but every neighborhood in front of us has been mandatory and now the streets are blocked off. I've been going out 3-4 times per day checking on stuff, I think I'm done.

I had a Tacoma that lived 10 years and many floods. Took it thru 4' once. The only thing that every happened to it, was the leaf springs started squeaking. $200 at the dealer for new spacers and it was fixed.

I kinda couldn't wait to see how my Tundra would do in high water. I do have the Offroad package and larger tires, so I'm a little higher off the ground. It has been perfect plowing thru 2'-3' of water. I just went thru some of the highest water yet and popped the engine bay when I got home. Just splashes of water here and there, on the light cables, a little on top of the battery, looks like it will all dry easily. Nothing really on the block at all.

Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone thinks I should have anything to worry about or have the dealer look at on my next oil change since I'm still under warranty. And I promise, I'll try not to go out again!

 

How high do you think it was? And if anything just change the rear diff fluid if you haven't done the rear diff breather mod

 

Oh I don' think it was been more than 2' yet. Just a 1/4 of the way up a stop sign post. It's supposed to go to 4'-5' on the streets, sparing our houses by 10' or so.

 

Just an update...where we live in Houston..streets are not flooded.. we have power all along ther no damage...but we are 8 miles away from the Addicks Reservoir and it is overflowing

 

damn...stay safe!!! rumor has it the storm is picking up strength and heading back inland.

 

Putting the tundra to work post hurricane Harvey

 

You guys heard about the Joel Osteen guy? Apparently he's been asking for support for the people affected by the flood and pleading for monetary and physical help. Been tweeting quite a bit about it. Thing is he's asking for donations to go through his Houston mega church and isn't opening the doors to his 17k occupancy arena/church to help displaced people ( unlike arenas in NO during Katrina). Twitter people are so pissed at the hypocrisy.

 

Anytime there is a "mega church" 9 times out of ten they are in it for the money. Not saying all mega church's are like that because I know this is a sensitive subject but it's true

 

Lol. Most of these mega church's will say "make a donation. We're just the middle man. You give to us and we give to them. It just goes thru us. Sowecanclaimyallsdonationsonourtaxesbecauselegallywearetheonesgivingthedonation. We are in it for the lord not the money I promise"

 

Yeah I'm blogging on a tundra forum. I will blame it on eating out of cans and drinking whisky out the bottle

 

I'm good. Day 6 no power. I just filed for Fema assistance for MRE's. We are tired of eating out of cans and I have 3 kids under 4 years old. I don't need money or nothing just some mre's.

 

^^^tomorrow at 2pm will be day 6 no power.

 

No sir. We have plenty of canned food and water. I honestly just like mre's. We are good though. I have a generator powering the necessities and I'm a prepper. So plenty of water food and propane.thank you for the offer sir we appreciate it.

 

Wooooo
