Clute is in that funny 50 mile-wide "unband", missing out on most of the rain until Saturday. Mostly just tree mess to clean up by Friday, I guess. No power issues or major tree damage (so far) and the wind has been next to nothing. My house is at the same level as the Dow levees (Freeport) and has never flooded. Grateful, of course, and praying for those who suffer now. Houston is no place to be this week!!

My nephew is one of the few ff's left in Aransas Pass. They rode out the storm at Police Station as station was greatly damaged. They hit the streets asap and stated damage is near indescribable. My youngest brother, his father is in Richmond, Tx, west side of Houston. That's the dirty side of the storm. Wind and endless rain there. We've had a full solar eclipse, a 3.1 earthquake in Dallas area and a Class 4 hurricane in the same week here.
I ask your prayers and concerns that on these first responders and all residents affected here. It got real, very fast.
Thank you all.
America, Our Country and we’re taking it back.

It doesn't take much to flood Houston.
Combine that with the avg. IQ there, and it's a recipe for disaster.
Sounds like a good chance to cleanse the gene pool a bit.
Vast majority of rescues involve people driving off into high water there.

Thank god. I've been thinking about you guys. So far it seems everyone here made out okay considering. How's Kaywoody doing? I've been thinking about him and his wife, altogether different if power is life or death. Has anyone heard from him lately? Kaywoodie is in CO at the moment, and doing well. Said they had minimal damage back home.

Said they had minimal damage back home. Here in San Antonio they reported rainfall totaling 1 1/2" inches at the airport as of last night, I don't think that figure has changed much since then. I gotta admit, I am loving the cool and breezy weather here this weekend. It ain't forecast to reach 90 all week.

I just heard from kaywoodie - they lost power at his place early this AM - 10+ inches of rain (so far) per his wife.
Everyone is OK, though.

Tried to energize about an hour ago but didn't work. 10 1/2" rain by this morn with another possible 20" predicted. A real goat rodeo in the making. I'm gonna try and leave here Friday or Saturday at latest. Hopefully I'll be able to get home by then. Thanks for thinking of us.

Vast majority of rescues involve people driving off into high water there. Ordinary storms, I would agree with you, but this is far from ordinary. My son lives in the NW part of Houston, same general area as Patrick Barr, and he just posted on FB pictures of water inside his house and still rising. Water has never even gotten into his yard before and it is a pier and beam house. We are talking four or five feet higher than EVER before. Grandkids are with their mother in the same part of town, so probably in the same situation. I can't raise any of them on the phone this morning. Houston just keeps adding more concrete every year and this just may be record rainfall. Recipie for disaster.

Down here in Oyster Creek, just out of Freeport, we only had 2" rain yesterday, about the same last night. Winds have been mostly light - none at all this morning. Lost electricity once Friday for about an hour.
This morning I went out to get the Sunday paper and heard a generator running. One house down from me is the old Brazoria County youth home, which Obama converted to a holding pen for "unaccompanied minors" - illegals from Central America, mostly. One of the things they did when rebuilding the entire facility to luxury hotel comfort levels was to install generators in each building. They kicked on when we lost power Friday, have been running ever since. Really makes me happy when my lights are out to hear those gennies running and know the childrens that are not supposed to be here in the first place are in cool comfort at my (as a taxpayer) expense! Nothing on the news about that, of course.
Brazos and San Bernard Rivers are flooding, and going to get worse, might spill over into Oyster Creek, but we lave levees protecting us from all of that.
Raining again now.
Mike
