  1. Wondering if anyone that was actually there saw how the different port parking lots were? Did any of the vehicles in the lots flood?

     

    I parked at Falstaff and no cars were flooded due to the warehouse/parking structure being elevated, but the streets were so flooded that no one had been able to get their car out by 3pm when I caught a ride out in a pick up truck. Their shuttle had brought us from the terminal back to the garage and the water was so high that the shuttle bus had water covering the 2nd step. I had friends that parked at Port of Galveston lot A and they said some cars in that lot were flooded, but theirs were okay. We drove past 81st Dolphin and they had water in parts of their lot about halfway up the tires of a pickup truck.

     

    If it helps at all, they had Harborside closed from 51st to 25th street due to flooding, if you're trying to gauge it. EZ cruise looks like it's at 28th, a block and a half off of Harborside

  2. I just got off the Valor yesterday and there was just water everywhere from 2 days of rain. I parked at Falstaff (excellent service, with 24/7 security), which is an indoor parking structure on a raised platform. All the cars were fine, but the streets around the parking structure were so flooded (I'm 5'5", water was hip high) that no one could get their cars out of the garage for hours. I had gotten off the ship at 9:30am, at 3pm ended up leaving my car in the garage and riding with a stranger in a pickup truck back to the mainland, and was finally able to get my car at 9:30pm last night (and the main entrance was still too flooded to drive through... I had to carefully maneuver my car down a pedestrian ramp).

     

    It seemed every parking lot/structure we passed had some degree of water in it/around it. My friends all parked at the Port of Galveston Lot A and they said one half of the parking lot was fine, and the other half was full of flooded cars, but they got lucky and the streets there had less water so they were able to get out, although they still saw lots of people get flooded out trying to leave. I was desperately wishing I had parked at Hobby airport (even though I live in Houston) and just rode the big bus to and from Galveston from there.
