@thackney - how are you holding up?  I see up to 30 inches forecast for your neck of the woods.

Hmm, Franklin's Barbecue in Austin suffered a fire in their smokehouse, apparently caused by wind-blown embers. Heavy damage, and the restaurant is closed for an unknown amount of time.
Seems the worst has finally arrived.  Downhill after that one.

Just heard on local San Antonio news that a voluntary evacuation for people in Karnes County is underway. They will be taken to San Antonio. Also VERY happy to hear all the arrangements being made for pets. Much better for them than in the past.

@Freya Thanks for your kind thoughts for us Texans.

Local station in Austin (KXAN) has a reporter on the ground in Rockport. He and his crew were there through the night in a hotel, and gave live reports last night while Harvey was hitting the town. This morning he's reporting that recovery efforts have started there, many buildings have been heavily damaged or destroyed, all communications are down, but so far... no reports of fatalities (yet.)

I have some friends riding it out just outside of Victoria. I talked to them just before the storm and he was checking out his generator just in case.

Harvey is basically just sitting still and dumping lots of water on the gulf coast and central Texas right now.

Texas begins search and rescue operations after hurricane

 By Josh Delk - 08/26/17 12:45 PM EDT 

The Texas National Guard began search and rescue operations Saturday following Hurricane Harvey, a category 4 storm that swept the state's coast on Friday night.

Mayor: Port Aransas trailer park a '100-percent' loss, search and rescue starts

http://www.kiiitv.com/weather/hurricane/port-aransas-trailer-park-a-100-percent-loss-search-and-rescue-underway/467644031

Quote
PORT ARANSAS, Texas -- No one should consider returning or visiting Port Aransas until further notice given the amount of destruction in the area, the mayor said.

The city's police chief told Mayor Charles Bujan the Pioneer Trailer Park, located at 120 Gulfwind Drive, is a "100-percent loss" and a search and rescue operation is underway this Saturday morning. Crews only are beginning to realize the extent of damage as they are just entering city limits.

There is an extensive amount of debris and utility poles down across roadways entering the city.

"We are in the process now of pushing down 361 ... We had to send heavy maintenance equipment in before the police to clear the highway," Bujan said.

While speaking with 3 News during a live interview, Bujan provided a number of fatalities. That information has not yet been verified, and 3 News cannot yet pass it along as fact.

City of Ingleside: It is not safe to return at this time

Posted: Aug 26, 2017 12:53 PM CDT
Updated: Aug 26, 2017 12:53 PM CDT

Current notice from the National Weather Service indicates the Category 1 Hurricane is currently in the Victoria area and anticipates it downsizing to Tropical Storm Winds by 2:00 p.m. 

Ingleside has already been downgraded to Tropical Storm winds. The NWS anticipates this storm drifting back toward Ingleside area with more rain.  The city expects to receive up to an additional 15 inches of rain as it comes back into the area, and they are delaying re-entry.

The city will notify residents when it is safe to return.  IT IS NOT SAFE TO RETURN AT THIS TIME.  Residents will NOT be allowed to re-enter the area at this time.

Thank you, @corbe

I stupidly left my gear in a trailer there.  I'm thinking that trailer may be gone when I return.

Oh well.  Equipment can be replaced.  Lives cannot.

Mandatory evacuations announced for low lying areas of Fort Bend County.  The Brazos and San Bernard rivers are expected to rise to the same record level (a little above) what we experienced in May 2016.  Pray for @thackney that he can get his water filled levee set up in time.

Harvey is now a tropical storm and looks to be fading as it moves mostly north, according to the radar map.

CNN just reported one death. I hope that is the only one.

I'm wondering if I should write to Sen Cruz and the other senator. I need to look him up and see what we can do to help our Texan friends.

Or call the Red Cross

I wasn't happy to be greeted by this development this morning. It's getting larger as the storms go through. I've walked the house and not found another one yet, but we'll see how things look after Harvey moves on to parts north. I don't wish him on anyone, but I do want him the hell outta here!

Don't mean to sound whiny. Especially in contrast to the folks on down the coast. I've so been there and done that more times than I care to recount. It makes my heart break to hear what they're enduring. BTW, as much as I hate hurricanes, I hate them even more when then come in during the night.

At 400 PM CDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Harvey was
located by Doppler radar near latitude 29.1 North, longitude 97.6
West. Harvey has been nearly stationary and little motion is
anticipated during the next few days.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Additional weakening is expected during the
next day or two.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
from the center.

Three dead and major flooding predicted as Harvey slams into Texas
By Jenny Jarvie and Matt Pearce•Contact Reporter
August 26, 2017, 12:50 PM |Reporting from Victoria, Texas

At least three people have died since Hurricane Harvey came ashore on Texas’ Gulf Coast as a powerful Category 4 storm Friday night, drenching low-lying areas, tearing roofs off buildings and leaving more than 300,000 homes and businesses without power.

Roy Laird, assistant fire chief with the Rockport Volunteer Fire Department, said three people were dead in Aransas County. Emergency responders continued to comb through the debris of collapsed buildings, overturned trailers, broken power poles and uprooted palm trees.

Harvey, with winds topping 130 mph, is the first Category 4 storm to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Charley struck Florida in 2004 and the first to hit Texas since Hurricane Carla in 1961.

@thackney - how are you holding up?  I see up to 30 inches forecast for your neck of the woods.

@IsailedawayfromFR

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.

Sorry about the aquadam. I remember your last usage. Good luck and prayers for you and yours.

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

CNN just reported one death. I hope that is the only one.

I'm wondering if I should write to Sen Cruz and the other senator. I need to look him up and see what we can do to help our Texan friends.

Or call the Red Cross
