Best wishes and prayers to South Texans. Hope you are all ok. 1K9 how you doing over there? No water in my house. Shop is flooded 2.5ft of water. I moved the bikes to higher ground. Raised one up on ramps. The Goldwing is toast. The rain stopped the level dropped, bikes just high enough. Good right, no now it's pouring again. Lots of my neighbors houses are flooded already. I'll stay until it's obvious I can't save the bikes. Good luck everyone.





 
Good luck out there guys. Last I heard it was supposed to hang over the area and rain through Thursday.
 


Wish I could teleport you about 50 new car/truck inner tubes from my shed to make a raft for them.

So sorry to see. Hope you get away with minimal damage. We have had similar here before in South Florida. Good luck South Texas!
 
disconnect battery, try sticking a few bungs in the exhaust to stop it from filling with water if it hasnt already, if you have a foam filter crank breather wrap it in a plastic bag and secure it tightly, change the oil too after water goes back down, let bike dry out well and hopefully it will make it through a flood okay
 
Just seen it on the news. How dreadful. Feel very sympathetic to all those suffering. My thoughts are with you.
