OMG!  They are now saying that Harvey may dump an unprecedented 50 inches of rain.

Tropical Storm Claudette: The 'Mother Lode' of floods

 In July 1979 Claudette dumped 43 inches on Alvin in one day

http://www.chron.com/news/houston-weather/article/Remembering-Tropical-Storm-Claudette-The-Mother-6295177.php

Claudette continued to bounce off of a high north of us, so it hit us 3 times before it left the area.

They are saying Harvey may come back to hit parts of TX and Louisiana.  I pray they are wrong and I pray that somehow Harvey leaves and dissipates sooner rather than later.

I was working at Austin State Hospital during Katrina and well remember the "mental" patients we housed. Some were quite demanding and dissatisfied with the service, the service that took us away from our actual patients.

I remember a "refugee" women in the astrodome was told that to get housing assistance, she was told she had to stand in line and fill out a form.
She was mad. She said, "They expect us to do this ourselves!".

Unbelievable

Drudge has this list of rain totals (so far) on his site for anyone interested.

http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc1.html

132 inches sounds biblical to me.

Thanks for posting that link.  The 132 was windspeed in mph.

@Sanguine if you can find out how people from out of state can help let me know. I have some clothes that are practically new because of all the weight I lost. I'm also donating blood tomorrow

I just made a donation to the Red Cross

Glad you are safe. Best wishes for Prissy and fast healing.

The info on the San Jacinto River dam is chilling. I, too, fear that it will take years to recover. I am sending a donation to the Salvation Army. Someone mentioned that was the best place to donate.

I will, Freya.  It may be weeks and months for the real work to start.

I posted a link of places to donate. There is one charity that just needs diapers and wipes for infants. @austingirl

Thanks. You have a heart the size of Texas. I've been watching all the water rescues in Houston on Fox26Houston.com/live. And there are thousands in the surrounding areas that need help.

This rain just needs to stop!  Our area can't take anymore.

Heard that our place down South is intact, just some damage to the store room roof.

That is great!  A lot of Rockport was hammered, I feared much worse.

My house sits about 3/4 the way up on a hill and is roughly 400 feet above sea level.  If it gets water in it the roof is leaking!

A hill in Houston?  I don't believe it!

btw, what is it looking like at Hobby?  This would be a good time to park a vehicle in their parking deck.

Naps is one of the most hateful and nastiest people on that sight.  He truly is miserable in his personal life.  Sucks to be him.

Actually I heard that the hurricane (tropical storm) is going back out to sea and then hitting Houston directly. More good news for the liberal hating American city. We all should be applauding this weather. Why people are giving prayers and things is beyond me. They would not be doing so if this was happening in Western Texas.

Such a post won't even get him a time-out. However, he must NEVER speak ill of Trump or it'll be curtains. How low they have sunk.

Not in Houston!  About 65 miles NNW.

Never happen, at least on the site,there has been a group spouting spewing forth this kind of intolerence and hate on the site for years without reprimand and the on conclusion you can come to is that JR shares their view.
