Mick S Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Coop, I liked you before, but your Whataburger post boosted my esteem for you several notches! Just in time, too. I saw that they closed all their stores in the path of the storm later yesterday. Glad you're okay. Stay dry. I'll have a #4 in your honor next time I get down to Albuquerque! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the double meat with the spicy ketchup for the fries? Whataburger moved their corporate offices from Corpus to San Antonio several years ago due to the hurricane threat. Whoever made that decision probably is getting a raise right about now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 It's a #1 with cheese and jalapeños. Definitely spicy ketchup for the fries! I had my first WB in 1960 in Odessa on the way home from a day at the Monahans Sand Hills State Park. It was the first of their iconic A-frame locations. I've loved them ever since. When I moved from TX to NC I had serious WB withdrawal for years. Closest WB was in Birmingham, AL. Now I'm in Santa Fe and there are 8 in Albuquerque, one hour away. I make up excuses all the time to run down there. Gotta make up for lost time. Big fan! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassAct Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 As a way of solving the flooding problem, maybe ICE can detain Harvey indefinitely since he arrived from outside the country without documentation. I kid, I kid! But stay safe, everyone. Flooding is sneaky; you don't realize how powerful all those tons of water can be until it's too late. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coop Posted August 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Haven't seen drones yet but boats are out everywhere rescuing folks and I would really feel bad asking them to bring me beer! But everyone's idea of an emergency is different 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Alison just talked to her son in Houston. They're about out of food and the line around HEB numbers about 500 people. They're letting in 10 at a time to buy what's left on the shelves. No trucks can get in to resupply. I suspect the beer is already gone.

Mick S Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Apparently HEB has an online list of stores as they reopen. The one down the street just opened about 30 mins ago. Thanks very much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Good luck Coop, stay high and dry. As for buying more beer, doubtful. Growing up in Eastern N.C. beer shelves were empty before the hurricane ever touched down. Beer, bread, milk, water first to go, in that order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I read the storm has dumped 11 trillion gallons of rain so far. If my math is right that's 74 cubic miles ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I heard some parts have gotten 50" of rain. 50"!!! That would be a ridiculous amount of SNOW. Too bad they don't have a desert to soak it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't drop 50" of rain on anything but the ocean and not get flooding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you even SEE your yard Coop? man you guys are really getting hammered. how are you holding up in general? are you still in it house, have power ect?

Popular Post Coop Posted August 29, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 We're still staying at sil house due to wet carpet in ours. I've started cutting and pulling it up and will finish today when the water in the yard goes down. I couldn't see my yard last night but from some of the videos, there are thousands that can only see their roof. It's supposed to start moving out some time later today. Our power was only off for about 8 hours and is back on. Thanks for asking! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
