Current predictions are for the Brazos to reach something over 52 feet in coming days.  Hope that won't hurt you too badly.

52.5 is basically the same point we reached last year.  We did have some flow through us from upstream flooding, going across us to the river 5 miles away.  We think that made it a bit worse where we are than the actual river.



But this was us last year:

I'm so sorry, thackney. 

The last track I saw had it coming back SSW and then making a hook to go almost due north somewhere west of Columbus.  I was hoping that would change things a bit but they are sticking to their Brazos River projections.  Meanwhile there were tornadoes this afternoon in Cypress and Magnolia.

Okay so far, but looks like we are going to flood out.  We spent the day getting horse, cows and dogs relocated.  Everything personal and important to us is moved upstairs.  Some problems with the aquadam means I couldn't put it up again in time.  I needed to replace the connectors between the main tubes.  Lesson learned.

May not happen until Monday, may not happen God willing.  We really caught a break today between bands in our area.  Ground water has had some chance to run off.

We are prepared, expecting the worst, hoping for lots of wasted time preparing.

Praying for you thackney

So if it does reach that level you will get water in your house this time?

   Won't Harvey sitting around here also prevent these swollen river basins from draining back into the Gulf?

"Catastrophic flooding" expected in Texas from Harvey

 
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- The National Hurricane Center says that what is now Tropical Storm Harvey is barely moving as torrential rains continue in Texas.

The center's late Saturday afternoon update says the center of the storm is about 45 miles west-northwest of Victoria, Texas, and little motion is expected during the next few days. The center says maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph. Additional weakening is expected over the next day or two. Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 115 miles from the storm's center.

"Our biggest concern is the possibility of between 20 and 30 inches of rain in areas ranging from Corpus Christi over to Houston," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "Because of the flooding, one of the top focal points that we are concerned about is ongoing rescue and recovery."

Looks like it's moving off to the east a bit now. You could use a break. That is some angry-looking storm!

Under flash flood emergency.  That is the strongest language the NWS uses.

I always recommend:

Highest percentage of your donated dollar goes to actual help.
I agree, and from time in a flood in 79, they provided the most help 24/7. I doubt that has changed.

Stay safe, prayers up for y'all.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
