Last report I heard said there were 14 pumps down.  Seriously, how IS this possible????
Possible because of Democrats.  They'd rather spend money removing historical monuments.

Hey folks, am back.  Relocated to one of the other residences.    Didn't want the cabin fever associated with 20- 40 inches of rain.

Now.....  Is everyone ready for the best news in days on this sorry storm.   Check out the dry air intrusion (Yellow) into the storm.  Hopefully this will squeeze out the P out the Preciptable potential  of this sucker. Sure not out of the woods, but some nice glimmers.



Looks like potentially bad news for New Orleans, though.

Prayers for those in TX and those especially in Houston ....

Lord God, we pray for relief for those impacted by Harvey and ask that further rainfall is minimal  in Houston and the surrounding areas. We ask for protection for those who have lost their homes, for those affected by flooding, and for those who will be affected in the days ahead.

Please bless and protect the first responders, agencies and volunteers working to rescue and bring hope to South Texas.

    In Jesus Name,

    Amen

Amen and AMEN!!

Not true.  One of the traffic news ladies was just giving info on the freeways and did not mention this.

Emergency services in Houston is asking people who call 911 for rescue to mark their homes with a white bedsheet since house numbers may not be visible.

East and north of here are flooded.
With the addicks and Barker reservoirs, and the Brazos river issues. South, west and northwest will be flooded too.
Releasing water from addicks and barker now.

Yeah, and that is only going to cause worse flooding downstream.

Help is on its way, many agencies are mobilized as well. Big name corporations like Exxon and Walmart are sending in money. Sounds like they are getting as many people rescued and out of harm's way as possible before the next predicted deluge from Harvey hits (God willing it won't happen at all).
