“I ate a ton of ice cream and now I don’t feel so good”. LOL

Who else is here watching this in 2019

Although commentary is unusual for a hurricane you had me hooked lol

Thanks for sharing. Man, they should've never let any builder build so close to the bayou, especially Buffalo since it receives water from so many bayous and creeks through both the Barker and Addicks reservoirs.

Thankfully living in the United Kingdom we very rarely get the kind of weather that you do in the USA, so it was really quite interesting in a sad way to get a first hand view/experience of a storm like this. Thanks for sharing.

The most relaxing hurricane video ever lol. You definitely seem to take it in stride, I'd be panicking pretty good even though seeing everything turn into a lake is kind of oddly peaceful.

I'm so proud of my Houstonians. I live more west of Houston and we almost lost our house and decided to go to my mothers friends house. I am so greatful to have survived this traumatic experience.

Thank you for sharing your cats, apt and the surrounding areas. I lived in Houston at one time of my life and graduated from college there. I derived a lot of comfort from you and your account.

I live pretty close to you at Briar Forest and the Beltway. Lots of rescues in my neighborhood. We don’t have flood insurance on the two houses we own in the neighborhood. Neither flooded, thankfully. Water got within inches of getting in the house. Every time a boat/large truck would go by, a wave of water would go into our garage. I never got good sleep during Harvey. I would sleep, but I never woke up feeling rested. It wasn’t until after Harvey that I was able to get some actual sleep.

Some facts and figures to add to this well made video, where the person filming doesn't develop twistourettes and starts yelling the bleeding obvious. It is reported that a foot and a half of water covered 70 percent of the 1,800-square-mile county. Houston sank two centimetres as a result of the weight of the water. Flooding forced 39,000 people out of their homes and into shelters. The storm damaged 204,000 homes. Three-fourths were outside of the 100-year flood plain. Most of those homeowners did not have flood insurance. The storm left 200 million cubic yards of debris. In the Gulf area, one million vehicles were ruined beyond repair, according to auto data firm Black Book. Two feet of rain fell in the first 24 hours. Nearly 31.6 million gallons of raw sewage spilled across southeast Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, pouring into neighboring communities and waterways as dozens of wastewater treatment plants were hit by high winds and flooding, according to state records. Most of the sewage spilled in Harris and Fort Bend counties, with 65 separate releases dumping 20.7 million gallons of sewage in Harris County and 11 spills dumping 9.5 million gallons in Fort Bend. In case you are unsure, that is SHIT, human SHIT. Research by a civil and environmental engineering professor has substantiated that Hurricane Harvey caused high levels of fecal contamination to be introduced into waterways draining into the Gulf of Mexico and impairing surface water quality. Kapoor selected the Guadalupe River because it is an important drinking water source for several cities and is used in part for recreational activities. The river runs from Kerr County, Texas to the San Antonio Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. Excessive rainfall from Hurricane Harvey resulted in major flooding over the Guadalupe River in Victoria, Texas. The river crested at 32 feet, around 10 feet above flood stage. Notably, all initial water samples collected from the flooded regions of the Guadalupe River by Kapoor and his students contained E. coli and enterococci concentrations above the regulatory level for contact recreational waters. Nationwide, 107 people died in storm-related incidents: 103 in Texas, 2 in Arkansas, 1 in Tennessee, and 1 in Kentucky. Of the deaths in Texas, 68 were from the direct effects of Harvey, the highest such number in the state since 1919

Found this after watching one on Katrina. I'm from up in Washington State, but was right in your area once at the age of 17, and I'm 60 now. I have friends in Houston, ones I met in Austin when I lived there for 3 months at 19. This has been fun for me to watch. Good job!

I loved watching this, oddly calming for a hurricane vid lol. You delivered such a calm and gentle commentary, you were a joy to listen too. Funny as well 😁

Nice place you live there, cool with the creek running past. Pity about the trash though (shopping trolleys make good grills to put over an open fire so you can chuck some meat on), some people just don't care. Your cat looked pretty chilled, I would get blazed and drink beers, eat TV dinners (small generator for fridge/microwave and phone charger) and film things occasionally when it got gnarly. Why didn't you rescue Skeletor? Good video, enjoyed it, you like Pink Floyd as well and were prepared to have your downstairs neighbor into your place for shelter if needed, you're a good bloke mate.

18:20: "Let's see what happens folks" 5 seconds later the power went out so hilarious!

Thank you for sharing this with us. You have a very sweet demeanor. Hope you and the cats are doing well! 💛

Thanks for all the footage of Hurricane Harvey..I hope you finally got some rest after all that storm and without electricity..

I will never forget the sound of the rain. It was constant. It never stopped. Such a hopeless feeling really. All you can do is just wait and watch.

Safe enough distance from any real danger but close enough to show the effects of it all. This is an awesome video !!! I have dealt with an EF5 tornado but never a hurricane. This was a great insight

I live in Corpus Christi. I was without power for a week. We hardly got any rain at all but we did have quite a bit of wind damage around the city.

(Such friendly nice neighbours down in Texas!) Great Docu. on Harvey!

I see a flag from Guatemala....I'm from Guate, live in Santa Cruz, CA, and used to live in Houston. Great video by the way..cheers

Calming personality, smart, funny and cute....good job!!

Watching this as I have a cold+fever. Makes me so cold! I'll go watch the rest after I get to bed and have my electric blanket set to the "BBQ" setting :)

your video was really good i felt like i was there

Firefighter medic here that was working during Harvey. I can say to this day I've never been so tired during a weather event 😂

I enjoyed this. I liked your commentary very much. We get tail ends of Hurricanes , but we get Ice Storms, the last bad one in 1998 was horrific. We went without power for 11 days in below zero temps....Not fun. I wasn't as calm as you were..so kudos.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Here in South Africa, we don't get hurricanes, so this was a new experience for me.

Thanks for the video. But, did you sleep at all? i know I barely did that weekend.

I love this Harvey Documentary Very Nice Apartment Complex Lots Of Tropical Plants But The Skeleton In The Bayou Freaked Me Out And He Was So Calm 😂

I know this video is a little older but I thought I would give you a little advice. Since your apartment is so close to that little bayou tributary it might be a really good idea to not go walking around anywhere outside your apartment without a pair of rubber boots or at least some shoes that a snake can't bite through. As soon as the water starts coming up snakes will seek higher ground so that they don't drown. Just about every kind of snake you can think of is going to come up out of that water including rattlesnakes and copperheads of which I know there are many in that area and especially water mocassins, which there are both poisonous and non-poisonous species. As soon as you see your first cotton-mouth water mocassin you will know it though. You said something about gators and you are right about that too. There are a lot more gators than you think in that area.

I lived in an apartment in Katy during Harvey. Water did not come into our first floor apartment off of I-10 and the Beltway but it was close. We only lost power for a short time period as I recall but Harvey was one hurricane too many (I was born in 1946, so I've weathered many storms from Carla-a horror-to Rita and Ike). In June of 2018, my husband and I moved to Boerne, Texas northwest of San Antonio. IF a storm comes in at Corpus we might get some wind and rain but right now our creek (that flows through town) is almost bone dry. Some rain would be a blessing. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you survived. I have friends in Katy who lost everything. Very scary five days or more. Two weeks to three weeks after the storm there were still roads in Katy that were impassable. Bless your cats and you.

If your car battery is good and it's not freezing, you can charge your phone all week without drawing it down

I was 15 when Harvey happened. I still have ptsd from that storm. Even in 2023, I'm still terrified of Harvey

Thanks so much for the Awesome video 👍🏻 love from Roman London England ✌🏻

Outstanding video.

I don’t understand why anyone would live 8 feet from Buffalo bayou and decide to live in the first floor????????????

Yep... My home got 7 feet of water in it during the Harvey flood. I lived in Cloverleaf (East Houston) right on Greens Bayou.

Thanks for sharing the video. Question from across 'the pond'. When you have to have time off due to hurricanes, due to still get paid by work or do you have to take it unpaid?

It's crazy how much we flooded despite the fact that it hit us as a tropical storm.

Loved the video. I live in Michigan so we don't have that kind of weather here but your video made me feel as if I was there right along with you. People can be so careless with their trash. That's one thing that I have always hated here in Michigan in the spring after the last snow has melted off there's so much trash on the side of the road. It's disgusting. I see after the flood waters go it's not much different. I noticed the cicadas were making lots of noise in the beginning but part way through they stopped. At the end they were back at it again. Glad you came out okay. You were in just the right place to wait out the storm. Thank you for sharing!!

Great video!

Awesome video. Live in Katy. We had lots of rain and flooding here too. We didn't flood Praise God ! Good JOB! 👍 TY

Cute cat!

I really enjoyed your vid.

Dude how did you do this with no anxiety omg 😳

I was in Rockport Texas 25 August 2017 and it was a for hurricane category four.And it got so bad that I had to leave I ended up in Pleasanton,Tx which this town sucks

In Dickinson we walked out of our house at 3 a.m. Waist deep water, fire ants stinging us. Our 3 cats in carriers in my kayak. I sat down in a higher spot of highway 45 to scrape the fire ants off. After the house was renovated we sold it and now live in the Rocky Mountains. I have to agree with Phil Sheridan on Texas in general. He said "if they gave him Hell and all of Texas, he would rent Texas and live in hell." They used to grow rice between Houston and Galveston. Wish I had known that before we bought a house in the area.

Soooo mellow...

It was like an end of the world movie that would not end

The trees behind and the stream would stress me out.

Watching this in 2021 getting ready for another hurricane season!

I live in Florida, in 2017 we were without power for over five days.

Video simply can't do justice to how insanely heavy the rain was Saturday night.

You should consider placing some landmines down there where people dump their stuff. It gets harder to litter your garbage everywhere with no hands.

Wow just wow on how high that lake got, one question where the hell did the water in the pool go?

I live in Houston. I remember this!

Man the flood waters that Harvey brought was unreal. I went through Irma myself. These storms are no joke.

That's close to Sandalwood/Lakeview which got heavily flooded. Patti Lynn Lake became one with Buffalo Bayou!!!

To anyone else living in Houston; I don’t know if its just me but it always seems to flood in April or May every year.

What's the name of them apartments

This disaster introduced me to the awareness that this major city is constructed in so many flood-prone areas. It's hard to believe this situation could have been allowed. This is the result.

good job!

Is it just me, or does this guy look like Johnny from Cobra Kai 🤔

Was this hurricane in 2017? Or just when you posted it?

I’m in 2020. Hurricane Zeta just came through. I’m in lower Alabama. It wasn’t to bad

What's a chupacabra?

what part of the bayou is this? we were in east downtown & completely surrounded by water. no traffic in the city. none going out.

2020 anyone?

I live in Alief section of Houston and we lost power and water for over a week.

Gotta love those Texas Cockroaches!! Almost the size of a Mouse! lol...

dang dude you had a rough week

Harvey, imelda, whats next? We all know there will be something else. It's not even a low chance anymore. It's a reoccurring theme.

Who else is watching this in 2020👀 hey did you ever find the skeleton💀 Felt like a watch the movie👍🏻

we lost our house and the many many things inside it due to harvey :(

Great video, relaxing commentary, crutches if anyone needs them, but... that bayou is terrifying... I have a fear of water and.. No. Just no.

We were hit by tropical storm Harvey and I've never seen flooding like that!!!

That office @1:23:24 looks very familiar. I know I had that view @1:37:06 back in 2006-2008 time frame...

“Bathroom surgery” 🤣

Interesting!! What a pretty white cat!!

Dude awsome!!! but sad! praying!!

Is this TC jester area? I live in Houston and am close to buffalo bayou (I know it’s huge) lol

15:19 Skeleton In Bayou He Stayed So Calm lol

Jmu shirt at beginning of your video have you ever been to JMU

I lived through hurricane Celia in Corpus in 1970. THAT was a hurricane, 180mph gusts. This looks more like an easy rain event to me.

I loved the skeleton updates lol

wow that insect noise is staggering...and I live in africa

How is it possible the builder was allowed to build in what they must have known was a flood risk?

That cat knows something is up!!! The posture and far off look in the eyes. Animals can sense things coming.

2:01 pretty sky

It's funny how calm he was

I lived at Armand Bayou. I miss you Texas - The best people and fun times.

Hope the cat was OK during this?

Do u have to wear your seatbelt to charge your batteries?

If I had been you, I would keep a small butane gas stove handy for emergencies. And plenty of cat food for my pets. Prepping but in a small way.

I Remember Harvey...

Was so sick during this hurricane.... fucked up

I was in friendswood during Harvey

Hurricane Harvey goin' on all around you, didn't stop you from playing Pokemon GO lol

You need rain gear, waders, rubber rain coat, and a portable charcoal grille, you'll be all set..

Lol, yip I wouldn't be surprised if you're right about the chupacabra.
