Just got this picture of Hobby from a relative. Looks like a while before these fly again or the airport opens.

Are you sure it's real?


This photo of Harvey flooding at Houston airport is totally fake – BGR


Maybe not?

Who knows what is real on the internet any more?

No, the shark picture isn’t real: A running list of Harvey’s viral hoaxes - The Washington Post

I've seen just about all of these somewhere or other.

That ain't Hobby airport. The water wasn't that deep anyway. Hobby only had 15 Southwest jets there when the flooding happened, and those tails are not even in Southwest logos Those tails look like Delta. They even ain't all Boeing 737s in the photo. Southwest flies only 737s. Fake news photo.

It ain't IAH either. IAH's terminals are in the middle of the airport.

That's good to know. I am sure he believes it. Unfortunately his house is on the other side of I-45 and is flooded. The Harris County Flood Control District rain gauge closest to his house has measure 36" since the storm started and south of him has received 39". Just no where for the water to go.

Maybe that's why all the water is at the airport-so they can load it on cargo planes and fly it out somewhere else?

Here is a photo of IAH during Harvey. Two days ago. Anyway..........see how far the tree line is. It's a huge airport.

I would hope so, I would want the numbers of all those planes or I'm not flying anymore.

Good news for us is every update from the National Hurricane Center is moving the track just a little further to the east. Bad news for those to the east of Texas.
