Local TV station came back on and said winds are 100 mph, and we can expect that for the next few hours.

Harvey now downgraded to Cat2.
It can continue to degrade as far as I'm concerned... Quickly.

3 transmission lines behind the house. The roar is ominous.

Big trees down here. Lots of limbs. One of my storage sheds is missing a roof. Dish internet is down. Using hotspot now.
Lots of live leaf debris on the ground. I'll bet it will look like the dead of winter with all the leaves stripped from the trees...

Good morning, gentlemen. Good to read what's coming from y'all.
As soon as I can get a cup of coffee in me, I'll go out on the front porch and shake my rattle your way.
If it helps any to think about, it's 53F and the winds are calm in the Trans-Bluegrass. There's fog in the Licking River bottom, and it will probably work its way up on top of our ridge before sunrise. There are a couple of whippoorwills arguing right now. It's too cold for the katydids. They turned in hours ago. We had coyotes going off around 0300.
I wish I could box up some of this and send it to you.

Glad to know some of you Texas fellars are still online and able to let us know you're alright. I'm sure glad we're too far inland for this kind of stuff to affect us. Tornadoes are bad enough, but rain measured in feet is something else. Y'all hang in there and God bless.

They are saying it's a Cat1 now. Couldn't prove it by me. It's really rocking and rolling here now. Eye is close.

This has turned out to be a non-event, here in S. Texas, 2/10s of rain and very little wind, I was hoping to get some rain out of this storm, but so far not much. You guys up north hang in there, good luck. Rio7

Did a quick damage assessment.Saw just a few tree limbs down and that was it.The worst part was electric went off around 4pm yesterday. I was tired from all the prep so I went to bed around 9pm and slept through the worst part.

Just heard from home. They still have power, Just lots of rain which comes and goes with intensity. Wind about 30mph. Big thing is tornado activity. Just glad they still have power. (For now anyway).

Good to hear. Hope the power stays with them. Bad for anybody to be without power, but especially the sick. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Around Freeport, which is very close to Surfside where the TV reporters have been risking their lives standing out in the powerful winds and "heavy" rains, we've only gotten 4" since this thing started. Had some last night and wind blew pretty strong, but no damage, no flooding. Looks like if/when it heads north it will make the turn north of us and between here and Houston - so we may be past the worst except for more rain.
We were very lucky, very sorry for those who weren't (I've been there, too).

Mike...Just a few miles up the road we have had a bunch more rain than that. I saw 8.6 for Danbury and 8.99 listed to our west. So many tornado and flood alerts on the phone you had to ignore them and just watch and listen.

The TWC reporters need to report what they see and quit trying to be part of the story. Yesterday the guy all braced by the sea wall in Corpus holding his cap and swaying...along comes a guy in shorts and crocs strolling down the sidewalk shirtless like it was casual Friday. Remember their storm surge models yesterday.
I would liked to see Cantorie hit with something real hard on one of these dumb reports of his.

So far no big deal up here in San Antonio too.
Strongest sustained winds outside of a thunderstorm I can recall here, I'm gonna WAG 40-50.
Only light rain so far.
The local gym is open. So are all the stores.
