Here it is:




Nah, that's not real pipeline.

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.
