Hurricane Harvey

[greybeard]

Rainfall is @ 7" since 7am according to my gage.
We seem to be in a lull or between outflow bands right now, tho I can still hear thunder rumbling.
Hopefully, the areas farther North aren't getting this..up on the river's watershed. My place can handle local heavy rain or river flood water but not both at the same time.

Sorry man... got a bad feeling about that. it doesn't get too bad.

My sister is on the San Jancinto river in Conroe. For the first time she sounds like she doesn't want to redo everything after a flood. I don't care how nice of a house it is, if it takes 3 feet of water, it's time to get out.

If she's south of hiway 105, the dam at lake conroe helps protect her from flooding unless they absolutely HAVE to lower the water level in the lake..

Even when the Lake Conroe Authority knows flood waters are coming down river, they will not open the gates to let some water our to lessen the flood down river. They just open the gates and dump the water. My sister and BIL have both called and pleaded for them to open the gates ahead of time and they refused. Me? I'd get the hell out of there. Just durned if I would live in a known flood plain, no matter how nice the house is. she should be ok this time, since the floods she has to worry about are the ones up river, but you already know that.

Somebody opened up the heavens and we are being absolutely inundated with rainfall... lots, and lots and lots of rain along with a little thunder and lightening just for fun.

I may need one of those /\ !!

I can believe it, looking at current radar.
This is still a very tight & well formed storm system.
I'm seeing/hearing non-stop lightning & thunder right now, but at the moment, very little rain.
