Near Northsider – Houston

Houston Marathon 01

And you thought the crazy street-geiser was it! This morning, the Chevron Houston Marathon and the Aramco Half Marathon came through the Norhside. There were people out on the sidewalk cheering the runners and drinking Mimosas, using hand clappers and noisemakers. Looking East on Quitman at South Street, you could see the huge crowd of runners coming all the way from Elysian.

looks like a water main busted near our house. It looks like the street just exploded, sending an arc of water like 30 feet into the air images and more info as it develops!

k, my Word Press is not letting me add images for some reason, so here are some on flickr,



it’s very dark outside (it’s like 11:50pm) so that’s why the pics are dark and the water is motion blurred.

Here’s another one of the COH people working on it
