[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 683027, member: 1295"] Gregg hit me up to post up a month later, closure so to speak. Total homes in in Sienna that got water in them was less than 1% 70 or so homes out of 7000. Nothing IMO. But sucks because most do not have flood insurance because its not required, we are outside the 100 year Floodplain. We dont have it, but I'm going to add it. Its $450 a year. Could pay it for 10 years and not even be to the cost of a new couch... Riverstone the next neighborhood up river got smoked in one area with 850 or so flooded. Same deal, behind levee, very few flood insured. Good time to talk about the flooding. Too much water, no where to go, and pumps that werent spec'd for the magnitude of water we received. Levees performed better than expected, so the flooding came from rainfall behind the levees in the watershed that run through the neighborhood on way to river. Everything seems pretty back to normal. Kids were out of school for 2 weeks, they basically just restarted the school year once it started back up. There is still debris piles on streets, and its still a sign of where flooded and where didnt flood around town. My neighborhood really pulled together with a effort called Sienna Strong. Those 70 houses that got flooded almost all got mucked out by neighbor groups. But as good will and everyone being nice and neighborly was awesome, it maybe lasted 2 weeks. The Neighborhood FB groups are back to full hate of the haves vs. have nots, and the blacks vs. everybody, and libtars, vs. alt-rights, and **** a person for passing on the road, or not using a turn signal and some nosy nancy posting pics of said car and license plate. Basically makes you not want to help people ever again. My status around this 'burg is pretty legit these days. Still having people come up at friday football or the ball fields or out at dinner to thank my wife and I for all we did. We had a good number of news reporters that live here, and while I used to do interviews for them regularly for Gator Squad, I elected to decline. People here know what we pulled off, and who was doing what. I'm leaving it at that. Those pumps are still here and installed. We will pull them the 1st week of November after the "Official" end of the 2017 hurricane season. Lifes back to normal for us. But there are so many areas of Houston that got it so much worse. Houses with a foot of water in their 2nd story kinda bad. [/QUOTE]
