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.
We all wish you well @thackney  and you have a place to return to when the waters recede.

Add another 5.25 inches overnight bringing the event total to 23.80 inches.   Still safe, dry, and all systems go. 

Praying for the many who are suffering right now.

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*****

Last report I heard said there were 14 pumps down.  Seriously, how IS this possible????

...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.

No, 1.5 days to evacuate 6.75 million people?  Not possible.  Even if all of them had reliable cars, and they were sitting them, all packed and fueled up, they wouldn't have been able to evacuate before the hurricane hit.  Would they have been safer stuck in the middle of a massive traffic jam when it hit?  It's not simply encountering a burning building; it's winds and flooding.

HOUSTON: Flooding along key city bayou hits ‘catastrophic’ levels
American Statesman, Aug 28, 2017

1:15 a.m. update: The Army Corps of Engineers began to open two far west Harris County dams hours ahead of schedule, which will eventually add a torrent of water — tens of thousands of gallons of water per second — onto an already flooded major city bayou.

Officials in Harris County opened the Addicks and Barker dams at 11:59 p.m., releasing 800 cubic feet of water per second, per second into a swollen Buffalo Bayou, which has already spilled over its banks and into neighborhoods across Houston. That relative trickle will build to a gusher over the next 6 to 8 hours, eventually topping out at 8,000 cubic feet of water — roughly 60,000 gallons — of water flowing into the bayou every second.

The Corps opened both dams far earlier than the 2 a.m. opening initially planned for Addicks and nearly 12 hours before the 11 a.m. time initially scheduled for Barker.

“There’s just the changing weather conditions,” said Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Randy Cephus, pinning the dramatic timetable change to heavy rains to the north. “More recent modeling led us to make this decision at this time.”

At an earlier news conference, Harris County officials said the influx of additional water into the bayou would only amount to a marginal increase in the amount of water already flowing.

I get the wind a flooding (been there).  All I'm saying is to discourage people to flee from safety because of a possibility of things being worse than fleeing was wrong.  The media of course is all over this and the mayor is being highly criticized. The media is questioning that a Republican governor was laughed at by a DEM mayor and others for encouraging the evacuation.  Here is the video - Perry deflects, but bottom line Abbot as governor should have been listened to.  Video:

Hey folks, am back.  Relocated to one of the other residences.    Didn't want the cabin fever associated with 20- 40 inches of rain.

Now.....  Is everyone ready for the best news in days on this sorry storm.   Check out the dry air intrusion (Yellow) into the storm.  Hopefully this will squeeze out the P out the Preciptable potential  of this sucker. Sure not out of the woods, but some nice glimmers.

Prayers for those in TX and those especially in Houston ....

Lord God, we pray for relief for those impacted by Harvey and ask that further rainfall is minimal  in Houston and the surrounding areas. We ask for protection for those who have lost their homes, for those affected by flooding, and for those who will be affected in the days ahead.

Please bless and protect the first responders, agencies and volunteers working to rescue and bring hope to South Texas.

    In Jesus Name,

    Amen

Help is on its way, many agencies are mobilized as well. Big name corporations like Exxon and Walmart are sending in money. Sounds like they are getting as many people rescued and out of harm's way as possible before the next predicted deluge from Harvey hits (God willing it won't happen at all).

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-
