Our neighborhood usually doesn't have too much= trouble but the velocity of the rain (at one point they say it was 6" per = hour) was so high that it just couldn't drain away that fast. The water go= t so high that it was several inches high in the garage (not high enough to= get in the car), covered the pool and completely surrounded the house. It= looks like it covered the porch and got right up to the top of the slab si= nce some of the floor boards are starting to warp, but not as high as the d= oor sills since none actually came in. Just one more inch and I'd be in bi= g trouble. Luckily I slept through the whole thing - if I'd been awake I w= ould have totally freaked and started carrying rugs & furniture to the seco= nd floor -- a lot of trouble and anxiety for nothing since it never did com= e inside. The garage apt. tenant parks on the street and her car had water= inside and it wouldn't start without being jumped. I got home about midni= ght the night it happened and it was raining but the street was clear -- no= standing water anywhere. By the time I got up in the morning it was all g= one. Interstate 10 where it goes near our place (say from downtown out to the lo= op) looked like a river - the water filled the entire thing all the way up = to the bottoms of the overpass bridges! I didn't see it myself but I hear = that 59 was the same way where it dips down between Montrose and Shepherd. = You missed a big one! -----Original Message----- From: =09"Griffin, Jim (CHC)" @ENRON [mailto:IMCEAN= OTES-+22Griffin+2C+20Jim+20+28CHC+29+22+20+3CJim+2EGriffin+40COMPAQ+2Ecom+3= E+40ENRON@ENRON.com]=20 Sent:=09Thursday, June 14, 2001 11:18 AM To:=09Taylor, Mark Subject:=09RE: Hey I got a Nikon Coolpix 880. I didn't do much research so I don't know how good/bad it is in comparison to other cameras on the market. It was pretty much an impulse buy. I like it, but I don't know if a digital camera is better than a regular camera. Here are a few pictures from my trip to Lisbon. <> I saw a few pictures of the Houston floods...unbelievable. I hope you didn't have any problems with your house.

Are you happy with the camera? I've thought about getting one but there are so many different brands/options/details/prices I can't figure out which one I would want! Here are a few from our recent trips, taken with a regular camera that we also got on a picture CD when they were developed: (See attached file: Cruise0015.jpg)(See attached file: Cruise0014.jpg)(See attached file: Cruise0013.jpg) (See attached file: Kitty.jpg)(See attached file: Cruise0003.jpg)(See attached file: Cruise0006.jpg)(See attached file: Cruise0002.jpg) (See attached file: Sedona0017.jpg)(See attached file: Sedona0006.jpg)(See attached file: Sedona0015.jpg)(See attached file: Sedona0004.jpg) - Lisbon1.zip << File: Lisbon1.zip >>
