Flooding in Houston

Well it's been raining like hell in Houston today. It had barely started to rain when I was leaving school and I got stuck when I was trying to leave, my engine just truned off. I think the engine's done, gonna take it to the dealer 1st thing in the morning.

Almost lost my Z about three times today. Took me 3 hours to get home. For people in houston, I work off 290 and Holister and live near 59 and Kirby.

290 and Hollister eh? Well I am one of two TL's at UCS and I know who owns the other one. You working at Telvent, Siemens, Corp Ex.? Or are you south of 290?

I just left Sterling McCall around 5:30 that day and I got stuck on the 59 south feeder. I avoided the water but it took me like 3 hours to get down to Kirkwood.
