Just got a text from wife's sister. They live off a Fry road in NW Harris county and are watching Cypress creek. Said if it comes up another 2 feet it may get in their house.

Glad to hear Pat, and SPONXX and family are safe, Ed, you seem to have a handle on what's going on, please keep us informed. Rio7 It comes from having friends in low places...and some high places.  Ed

My wife works for HEB in Victoria. We'd heard stories of looters, and she talked to the big boss just now, and he confirmed that. It seems a whole gang of looters busted into the HEB Plus here and just ravaged the place. Many suspects. They have them on video surveillance. Hopefully they will catch the DIMOCRAPS.  FIXT

Just heard from my Texas cousin. He and his family are fine. Water rose to within 5-8 feet of his house on a rise, but tthe sewers were enough to drain it away. Roads near him were clear of water shortly after the rain stopped. (By that time, it has been stopped for about 2 hours.) His neighborhood never even lost power.

Verizon Good Deed... Verizon is providing free talk, text and data for the entire hurricane area until the 8th of Sept. I have a Verizon hotspot. May be needing it. Kudos for them. (I have not heard anything from ATT though... I have 3 cell phone accounts with ATT. Hell, I didn't even get my 22 cent check for the cheating they did on bills from the lawsuit yet...  )

back to work today, vacation is over. Same here. Wife is going into her job at HEB tonight to get things going. They had generator failure, and lost all perishables in the store. I'm going to start clearing roads and drives with my tractor today. Probably for free. I can't see charging folks that need help.

I know this goes without saying, but here's to the hope that our countrymen in Texas rally around one another to the best of their abilities in these darkest of days. My most sincere wishes for safety and recovery to everyone hit by this horrible storm.

Harvey the Horrible..........What a storm.Going to try to get a generator and supplies to my Uncle in Rockport this morning.Amazing how Blessed I feel.Corpus Christi was near the south side of the eye.Damage here was minimal.Trees and fences were the bulk of the damage.But within eyes view of the structures across the bay,totally different world.Very devastating to say the least.I'm still without power,crews are working to get things going.I got a generator yesterday and believe me we are doing a lot better than the majority of the people affected by this storm.

At the moment, 9:00am, my rain gauge says 32.1" for the storm, so almost 8" of rain in 12 hours. It slacked off some overnight, which we needed, but it is still raining some.
The radar suggests we'll get more rain today, but maybe it won't be as intense.
Major flood control reservoirs are being opened now, which is good news for us, not good news for people downstream.

I heard from Rost495 about two hours ago. He's been at the Fire Station since 8:00PM Saturday night. He said that they have been doing water rescues nonstop since 03:00 this morning. He was paged to another one as we were texting. He said that Carolyn and his place are still fine.
I just heard from Sponxx, they are safe. He said that the inside of the house is now dry and that they have power and city water restored.
National Hurricane Center 07:00 Advisory said that the Eastern Gulf Shore of Texas and Western Gulf Shore of LA could see an additional 15" - 25" of rainfall before Friday.
The latest track info from Weather Underground was at 07:00 and it shows the storm making landfall again late this evening, then heading NNE, over Beaumont, then the Lufkin/San Augustine area around 02:00AM Thursday, over Oldman03's house north of Shreveport around 02:00 Friday, and then just SSW of Memphis by 02:00 Saturday.
Still a ways to go.
