I hate hearing that. My dogs will NEVER be separated from me in an emergency. I'd rather ride it out and hope for the best than leave my dogs. It breaks my heart to think of how frightened that dog must have been.  :nometalk:

My dogs will be at my side no matter what. We may get a lot of rain but at an elevation where we won't flood. My doggies HATE rain so it may be a bad few days for them.

I rode out Alicia at my sister's. When the eye came over, we went out to check on a neighbor's dog. They were out of town. The dog was OK, just scared. Its dog house had blown over and into the chain link fence. there was about 6 inches of water in the yard and the dog rode it out under the dog house. It was very eerie going out in the eye.

I lived near Ellington/Clear Lake then.
We got about 1 inch of water throughout the house.
We figured it would be worse, so we prepared by putting everything up that we could.
Lost the carpet and a bunch of yellow pages phone books!
The eye came over us, too.

I'm a click east of that map, but I sure can extrapolate a 10-15 inch gullywasher here.

We were neighbors. I lived on West Bay Area about 1 mile west of Baybrook Mall. I worked in that office building across from Red Lobster which was just opening up and in the process of getting leased out. I nearly stayed at home with an alternate plan in mind of going over the office and riding it out there. Instead I went with my parents to my aunt's in Waller. Good thing I did. My apartment got hit by a little twister and the roof came down on my bedroom. The office building had an atrium in it, and it appeared that the winds swirled down into that open space and tore up the inside of that building. I wouldn't have been safe either place. It was at that point I began to drop my lackadaisical attitude about tropical storms and hurricanes.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Only a few hundred times!  Unfortunately it is no longer what it once was.  The original pitmaster retired and his replacement isn't a pimple  so to speak.

The storm's surge could be life threatening, up to 10 feet, with waves as high as 20 feet above that. Rain is expected to range from 10 to 20 inches, and some areas could receive up to 30 inches. Perilous flash flooding and 115 mph gusts are possible.

"Harvey is expected to landfall around 1 a.m. Saturday, based on the current track," ABC News meteorologist Melissa Griffin said, adding that more time over water could increase the storm's strength. "If it had another day or two, it could be a higher category."

The storm is being compared with not only Hurricane Bret but also the devastating Tropical Storm Allison, which in 2001 punished Houston with 40 inches of rain.

The biggest worry with Hurricane Harvey is that it's expected to stall over southeast Texas, Griffin said.

"When it does make landfall, it is expected to ... not move for several days, which is why we expect the rainfall to be the most devastating," Griffin said. "Some spots could receive over 30 inches."

At a press conference Thursday afternoon, Corpus Chisti's newly elected Mayor Joe McComb told residents not to dismiss Harvey and to heed requests for voluntary evacuations.

"We encourage the residents in low-lying areas as they say, 'to get out of Dodge,'" the mayor said.

McComb stressed that flooding alone could cut off electricity and water from homes in the area. "Go to a family, friend and get to higher ground," he said.

Wow .. this looks pretty serious.  I hope Texas Briefers take seriously any requests for voluntary evacuations.

Stay safe!!
