I remember my mom taking us up to Conroe just to get Ice and a Coke. I was just a kid then. You neighborhood isn't likely to flood but stay away from I-10...it is usually turrned into a river. Or, if you want some insurance money get your car out there and flood that sucka.
Do you remember during tropical store alice I-10 got so flooded people were riding there jet skies down it? That was hilarious. In some spots it was 15 feet deep.
