My street is now clear. I can get out of the driveway, but can't get very far from the house.

Damn man. I hate to see this. With the info I've seen, the rain will continue. Please make sure you have a "Go Bag" ready. And that's for all the Houston folks here.

Problem is, roads are so washed over right now and flooded, if they didn't get a go bag and gotten gone, they're not likely going anywhere for a while.

I'm not there and definitely don't have eyes on. With that said and what I'm seeing on the internet and select news, the getting out now is left to being evac'ed by whatever means possible. That means just life support items in the "Go Bag".

Even if we wanted to leave, there is nowhere to go. EVERYWHERE is flooded.

Your new place is a 2 story? If so, fill what you can with water and get it upstairs as well as any food and things for the kiddo. If you have a coleman stove, take that up as well since you can use that to boil water if needed.

Hang in there Tony and the other Texas peeps, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone down there.

Good question...I would assume it does since it is a gas, I have used my stove inside the cabin before without issues as well as a white gas heater. Let's just add in there that this should not be for prolonged use and to make sure you use in a ventilated area.
