That's a nice site.  Thank you, Freya.

Don't thank me. I got it from your Senator. He has a very sharp website..

Hope your family is doing well, @Sanguine

4 inches an hour right now with a predicted 22-28 more inches in the next 24 hours.

Just reported 3 miles south of me, over 9 inches an hour.

Thanks for the website, @Freya. From the site:

Residents, including Mike Williams, 79, walked to the police station to learn when electricity and cell service might return, but police and rescue crews were in the early stages of accounting for people and danger.

Though the island was ordered evacuated, Williams and others who had weathered storms for decades here stayed back, skeptical of what was supposed to be a category 2 hurricane but which became a powerful and organized category 4 hurricane with a direct blow.

“I woke up at midnight and the Gulf of Mexico was 10 inches below my mattress,” Williams said.

While storm surge swept the length of the island, the most striking damage was left for the tip of “Port A,” as locals call it, where older structures were more vulnerable to winds as high as 130 miles per hour.


This just drives me nuts!!

@Bigun, I can't figure out how to read that. I'm multitasking (texting with several school friends who are fanned out across the Houston-Galveston area), monitoring TV coverage, and checking the water level outside my house. So I'm too distracted to try to figure it out. I have two three new roof leaks.  :soangry:

Such a disaster unfolding in our region. I'm nervous to see what daylight reveals. Weird feeling yesterday as I watched an interview and walk-through of the damaged home with victims of the Sienna Plantation tornado only to discover that they are family!

FITTINGS? Fittings are what's holding you back?
You're a bright boy @thackney , surely there is something that can be done!

prayers up, man. I sure hope it works out!

30" diameter flexible, sealing fittings~10 ft long.

Duct tape isn't going to cut it.  Nor is there time at this point.

Harvey spawns 'catastrophic' flooding in southeastern Texas
CNN, Aug 27, 2017, Updated 8:31 AM ET

Catastrophic" flooding paralyzed Houston and other deluged towns in southeastern Texas early Sunday as Tropical Storm Harvey pummeled and drenched residents and first responders.

More than 1,000 people had been rescued overnight due to record flooding in the sprawling Houston area, according to meteorologist Jeff Lindner with Harris County's Flood Control District.

"Stay put," the National Weather Service advised.

I'm just south of Spring, just north of Houston.  Backyard is flooded, but it's not reaching back door.

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.
