Hurricane Harvey Barners
Don't we have some Ford Barners in S. Texas. I hope they are safe and they had time to move their cars. Let's all think of them and there possible troubles.
I haven't seen any reports from or about them. Anyone know anything about how they are. |

Re: Hurricane Harvey Barners
There are several lurkers and a few contributors involved. I texted regular contributor Jim Cannon who said water was within 4" of coming into his front door however the creek had stopped rising for the time being, so he was still dry. I asked him if I needed to send any supplies and he replied "Sandbags!". A couple other Model-A guys that often lurk here said they had water all around their house where they were stranded so they could not leave but were safe. I sent a text to one person that lurks here who lives down in the Friendswood area and they have not responded back. I know there are others so that are in the affected areas, so I hope they can respond too. I'm sure even Ryan was affected by the storm in the Austin area.
Since I grew up in that area, I still have many friends and family right in the area that is under water, ...and here is a few pictures of my oldest sister's church that she sent me yesterday when her husband and the pastor went to inspect. Can you imagine your own church having this much water in it? Many other churches and businesses will be just like this. Unreal!! Hopefully other Fordbarners affected will add pictures of their home or garage. . |

Re: Hurricane Harvey Barners
It is looking better in the Houston area. Sun is shinning today. The water is starting to recede but people that had evacuated still cannot get back in. We were blessed in that we only had water in the street which has drained now.

Re: Hurricane Harvey Barners
I have seen social media feeds from non-Barner friends. One was evacuated and another had water up to her door, but is sounds like she will be spared. I saw one report of almost 52 inches of rain. That is a lot of rain. Just a few years ago, they were suffering a drought!

I saw on the Reddit social message board where a BMW car owner in Houston. Saved his three Bimmers by putting them on jack stands on top of blocks. In his drive way, garage and one car on a car trailer. Look up: Texas
E36 Garage on YouTube for pics. Scary.............. I think I'll start collecting blocks. Bob-A |

Re: Hurricane Harvey Barners
We have been getting reports on what's happening over there and I have wondered about how people are managing. I hope all is well for all of you.

Re: Hurricane Harvey Barners
I have heard that 80% or more do not have flood insurance on their homes.

I was lucky, I didn't flood. I know several people who did.
