Apparently New Orleans didn't learn their lesson from Katrina... there's a story on Fox talking about how they are preparing for floods from Harvey amid pump failures.  *****rollingeyes*****

God be with you.  We evacuated from Rosharon to a friends camping trailer in their driveway in Sienna Plantation, Missouri City.  The 59 ft @ Richmond is going to put more than the Sienna Levees were designed to hold (100 year flood design).  So we may be evacuating again tomorrow.  The 59 ft is expected Tuesday evening.  I understand Greatwood Levees won't hold up to that either.

4 storms in just  over 2 years.

Hang in there.

I think I heard as story about a week or two ago where they had pump issues, after a good sized thunderstorm.

How are you holding out?

@GrouchoTex

We got the animals out yesterday.  We got out this morning.  Worried we may have to evac again hunting higher ground and open places to stay.

Still have power and no flooding, but I can't get out.
For those of you familiar with the area, I am about a mile north of the old Imperial Sugar plant.

Spooky. We lost power in the whole neighborhood. Then a military convoy turned right in front of my house heading toward the airport. One vehicle looked like an amphib about the size of an 18wheeler. Right after they went by the power came back on. The airport has been closed due to flooding.

The fact that they once again have a Democrat governor should have tipped you off.

My daughter in law is locked in north of W. Airport and south of West Bellfort in Barrington Place.
Here folks are in my neighborhood, so okay, but can't get out.

Death Toll Rises to 5, Worst is Still to Come as Historic Houston Flooding Continues
Weather.com; Aug 27, 2017, 09:30 PM EDT

Catastrophic flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey that has left at least five dead continued to deluge Houston Sunday, prompting thousands of water rescues and placing a strain on available rescue assets.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has activated 3,000 national and state guard members after Harvey dumped more than two feet of rain on Houston metro, causing historic flooding from rainfall that has been characterized by the National Weather Service as "beyond anything experienced before."

After a break earlier this evening, a heavy band of rain capable of dumping 2 to 3 inches per hour will impact the Houston metro area through 1-2 a.m. local time, according to weather.com meteorologist Brian Dongan. A flash flood emergency is in effect until 1:15 a.m. as catastrophic flash flooding continues.

I've heard Dairy Ashford @ W Airport and @ Alston are flooded, but I have to say, I haven't witnessed this 1st hand.

As Harvey floods rise in Texas, Cajun Navy is 'on the way'
NOLA Times-Picayune, Aug 27, 2017, 8:37 PM

Members of the Cajun Navy volunteer groups are stepping up to assist flood-stricken residents, as people bound for Texas post on Facebook that help is on the way.

Although unofficial and organized through several online groups, the Cajun Navy is comprised of grassroots volunteers who came to be known by a collective name after the Louisiana Flood of 2016 prompted hundreds of leisure boat owners to band together and perform search and rescue operations.

Tropical Storm Harvey continues to inundate southeast Texas, and the growing need for water rescues has prompted volunteer rescuers into action. Online posts from Facebook and Twitter display how volunteers are mobilizing to reach flood-affected Texans on Sunday (Aug. 27).

Sharing a post about the Cajun Navy on his Twitter account, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards sent his best wishes with the volunteers.  "Good luck to the #CajunNavy headed to help our neighbors in Texas," he wrote.

Thank you @mystery-ak  888heartkitty

I'm working on my checkbook now so I can figure out how much I can spare. I don't have the money to get down there to help, unless I break my 401k. I don't know if that is prudent to touch it before I'm 58

My sister tells me that stupid mayor put out messages to directly contradict the Governor.  maybe BLM doesn't mater to him?


...hmm...did some back tracking.  Harvey developed into a tropical storm on August 17 -- it actually weakened into a tropical wave on August 19 -- it redeveloped on August 23 to hurricane strength and by the next day  Harvey intensified, and reached Cat. 4 strength and on the eve of August 25 hit Rockport.  Hurricanes are unpredictable. Once Harvey became a hurricane it moved and strengthened at incredible speed -- the people roughly had a day or a day and a half at best to prepare and evacuate.  Not a whole lot of time at all.  The governor encourage people to get out. If indeed the major discouraged people that is an atrocity; that would be like encouraging people to stay in a burning building because along the escape route they may encounter other burning buildings.
