Tropical Storm / Hurricane Harvey

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I'm in NW San Antonio atm and the clouds that you can see are low flying and just booking it from north to south over my head. Just layers upon layers of them overhead. It's gigantic and powerful. Quite humbling to experience it even in this diminished state.

I'm curious to see what it does when the sun starts to cook it for awhile. The center seems to be more or less stalled out west of victoria.

Still is looking like constant rain for the next several days along the Galveston coast and up to Houston.
I'd suspect the worst, flood-wise, is coming in 2-3 days.
Hang in there Southeast Texans.

I feel you. I grew up on the islands on Outer Banks of North Carolina (Cape Hatteras)....
many, many hurricanes over the years.. Those lingering ones can (and have many times) wrecked the coast with deep flooding a hundred miles or more inland.

It looks like those of us in North Texas are just going to get a little wet the next week and that's all.
Our thoughts are with you down there!

Houston is starting to get buckets of rain. The bayous and creeks are at capacity with some streets starting to flood. If this does continue for a few days........won't be good

Hopefully it will either weaken more than they expect or the high pressure areas holding it there will start to retract and let it continue on before too much rain falls.

Yea, this one is hard to predict. I suspect that it will drift up on the NW side of Houston eventually. It looks like it is not going back out then crawling up the coast.......which would be devastating.

This thing needs to speed up though, can't take much more rain or the flood gates will open

Was going to mention this last night......It is pretty funny listening to the reporters mispronounce all the cities and rivers names

It makes me wonder if I am doing the same for other parts of the country that I "think" is pronounced the correct way.

The guy keeps screaming annoyingly obvious things .. I can just imagine him being out in the sun and screaming, "OH GOD! IT'S SO SUNNY! THE SUN! THE SUN! IT'S BRIGHT! IT'S HOT! THE SUN!"

He was kinda over the top..at one point the directions sign in the car wash stall was coming off, he was all, the sign is being ripped out of the bricks!!!! Dude, those things are plastic

Sure looks like a flat Earth.

Welp, here we go! Houston is about to get overwhelmed with rain and water drainage. My house is still fine but there is water filling the streets and some lawns.

I hate to say I told you so, but.......just messing, hope everything works out.

We got a lot of tree damage and the power was out for most of the town. Some flooded streets. Our property was under water, but overall we are extremely lucky. I feel pretty good about the days coming forward. It seems it is really not doing what they predicted for the aftermath. Now the rivers and bayous rising yes! That is going to be awful, as is the norm for a lot of rain in the Houston area. But the rain intensity and inches stacking up is just not happening. Heavy rain now and then, but not the devastating continuous and treacherous downpours for days and days that they all predicted. Thank God. Unless something changes.

ETA: I must also add the tornadoes. Yes, there have been several tornadoes in our viewing area. Too many of them were too close to our home. But still, the rain is just not really adding up to what they said. Yet.

The news is saying 2 to 3 feet of rain and that the storm is only moving 1mph and just hovering over Houston. Bad enough the city can't handle flooding and to get all this rain. Very dangerous. Hope you and your family are, Ok.

Rain rain rain....

How are things my friend. Hope all is well.

Power went out early this morning but back on now. Rain blows in horizontal sometimes. Staying in contact with coworkers and family.

Hang in there bro, I went through Dolly a few years ago, no fun. A lot of people are suffering. I have a sister in law in Spring.

It's not our first rodeo, Ike knocked down 5 trees in my property in '08. Thank you Bro.

Not suffering here compared to others north and south of us
