Rockport and corpus (beach towns) getting the gak kicked out of them. turned Dell and HEB centers are now shelters for people. It's officially on shore now. Automatically Appended Next Post: Per latest report some coastal areas are looking at FORTY INCHES of rain. I have never seen that ever. Hurricane is forecast to loiter through Sunday and then back up and over Houston.
Well we were in a bit of a drought button come on!

Yeah, news reports don't seem catastrophic for the area. For sure, it's a mess down there, but it's likely just damage to the communication infrastructure. Sure you're family is ok.

i was watching this. Category 4 hurricane. Lost focus multiple times during the DND game last night due to Harvey.
Did all Dakkanauts get out okay?
How's the damage looking? I'm pretty sure Harvey will be retired.

Three feet of rain has fallen in Clear Lake (NASA's center for non TEXANS).
1,000 rescues so far in Houston alone. Looks like all major freeways are shut down now. Mayor is asking for anyone with a boat to help.

My parent's flight from SA to go through Houston has been canceled. They rebooked. Canceled. Thankfully it's been minor in San Antonio so I was able to help my sister move. Still sucked to do in the constant drizzle.

Live in the Houston area. Hasn't stopped raining since Friday. 22" so far in my neighborhood. Had 4 tornados touch down within 5 miles of my house, though mostly minor damage. Fortunately, my neighborhood is realitively new and was built with lots of rention pond capacity so no flooding, just on and off ponding. Other places though not so lucky as I am sure you have seen on the news. Houston is pretty much shutdown, with even major freeways closed. Some forecasts say we will get another 20 to 25" of rain before the storm finally move out of the area Wednesday or Thursday. All the local schools systems have decided to call it a week and won't even attempt to have class until Tuesday, Sept. 5.
Needless to say this is not over yet with the worst still to come as creeks and bayous continue to rise and spill over banks. Well wishes and prayers appreciated.
For the curious, the following is a good site for the statistics;

I can't figure this out. Most of the narrative seems to be that it isn't that big of a deal, but the images I've seen of Houston being pretty much underwater seem pretty serious.

It might be because the worst hasn't happened yet. Once all the water that got dumped further inland makes its way down is when the real damage will occur.

Looks like it's forecast to shift further East when it comes around. Now coming back in near Louisiana and then up and out. It's mellowed out Austin way now , but La Grange is under water. All of Texas hopes "the girls"got out ok.

I originally thought it wouldn't be bad in Houston but I just saw the pictures coming out of there. My Aunt lives there. I just sent out a bunch of texts and emails and am trying to find her phone number, but can anyone tell me the general situation there? Have there been fatalities and what's the rescue operation like? (Global News here is somewhat sparse with the details apart from giving their condolences)

Three dead. There have been 2,000 rescues at this point. What part of the Houston area?
EDIT: EVEN if flooded,its about people. Things can be replaced. People have been sent to shelters in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and new ones are opening way up in Dallas. They may be out of communication for some time, so be patient.

Not quite sure, we've never been to her place. She always visits us (I hate travelling, she loves travelling). But it should be somewhere more urban. EDIT: At least only 3 dead means the situation isn't that bad yet. Although I hope those three aren't her and her family.

But this is all still occurring there, so be patient. Per my peeps there power comes on and off etc. EDIT2: Per the stream gauge behind the old Houston house, 25.2 inches of rain in the last three days. Wow.
