Allison, or night of the SUVs

I came down from Dallas on I-45 Friday night, and man, was it ever an ordeal!

Right around the Willis/Conroe area it started to get bad enough to think about turning back. The access roads were completely underwater, and the flood was even reaching up on to the freeway itself!

The next day I tried to make it to the church on time, and I was confounded by freeway cosings and floodings everywhere. It was like being in Mad Max: there were abandoned cars everywhere, even right in the middle of the street!

The power was out in the church, so there was a nice candle-light service, but not everybody was able to be there - the groom’s mother arrived at the last minute, rescued from the high waters surrounding the airport.

I myself managed to survive without an SUV (I drive a Ford Mustang), but I was very picky about which way I was willing to go in all that water!
