Hurricane Harvey

Has she moved already? If not, she's a bit north of Houston... Definitely will keep her in our prayers too!

Other than intermittent rain, it's been a relatively calm day here.

Solid clouds for the last few hours..there will be no sunset pics.
Looked again a few minutes ago. We are still forecast to get 20" rain over the next few days. 6" of it will come tomorrow between midnight tonight and 10am according to weather underground.

My personal greatest concern will be here around tuesday or wed when the river starts rising.
This time, I will be ready.

Where can I get one of those ... fishing poles?

Hope you don't need it! (the boat - not the pole!)

Harvey has made landfall. The news just announced that Sam's Club waived membership today to allow people to stock up. They waited until today? Oh that will be a huge help for the people battened down that now have no electricity to hear the good news! That's mighty generous of them. Gheesh. Maybe it will help people in the Houston area. Harvey hasn't got there yet.

Wind here, has picked up significantly in the last hour, tho nowhere near dangerous.
My anemometer says steady at 12 with gusts to 15 mph. Still out of the ENE. Light drizzle.
Our rain forecast for the next 6 days has diminished slightly.

It shouldn't be a direct hit but I know she is already feeling some of the effects of it.

Day is breaking. Rain here. Thunderstorm woke me up around 3am but didn't last long.
Wind less than 5mph currently.
Lights blinked on-off on-off during the tstorm but still on this morning.

@frustratedearthmother how's it looking over your way?

Hope she's doing ok!

We are hanging in there! To say I didn't sleep well is an understatement, lol. DH sleeps like a baby...sigh. We had almost non-stop tornado warnings all night. They were literally all around us. The damage reports are starting to come in now that the sun is up. We've had substantial rain and some gusty winds. (wish my rain gauge was working, ugh!) Took Gracie for a short walk just as the sun was coming up and there are small branches and a lot of leaves covering the road.
