Had a message from my wife's cousin this morning. They're in Denham, TX. They're waiting for the National Guard to come and help them evacuate. She's an RN, and her husband is a Texas politician, so they're high on the list to get help.

Still raining, 21 inches at my house since Friday night. One of the latest projections show the storm moving offshore sometimes Monday night and then picking up a bit of strength on Tuesday before it has another go at us on Wednesday! Sure hope that's wrong. If the rain projections hold true, we could be approaching 40 inches by Wed evening. Biblical!!

Hope y'all don't get stuck in the pissin match to follow. Also hope you beat the deadline on the spending cuts to the helpful folks. I doubt that even one politician learned anything from Katrina but for your sake I hope someone did. Jim

^^ more libtard bending of the facts.
"Cruz at the time said that not all the funds were being allocated properly. Cornyn voted for a Sandy aid package without the unrelated spending, which included things like repairing fisheries in the Pacific,"
I don't believe either had a problem with approving the funding necessary for Sandy relief. It was just the Bill for Sandy aid included a boat load of special interest funding which was BS and totally unrelated to helping Sandy victims.
Got a national emergency? Help fix it. But don't pack the emergency funding Bill with pork projects.

Boy we lucked out here on the west edge of the storm, only a little rain and some winds that broke off a few branches etc. Just heard from our friends that have a home in Bellaire, Texas and they are trapped in their condo. No power, cell phones losing charge, spent the entire night moving all their furniture to the upper floor and had to take their cars to an elevated garage to park them. Cars can't be used anyway as no roads are passable. They hope to come up here Thursday but think they may still be trapped. Sounds horrible! Have another set of friends in Pearland, TX and they got caught away from home and can't get there at all to check their home. Figure they'll have to head for their place here to wait it out. Hope all you folks east of the storm are doing well and staying safe out there. Be thinking of you....Mel

Prayers going out to everyone in the path of this calamity. Your hurricane brought thus far water-levels that we fear over here. We get them in a a day or less at times, and as our terrain is mountainous with very little topsoil, avalanches are a common consequence. That's the reason (for those of you who have visited us in the past), that we got so much concrete along every road.
But unlike your hurricane, it is extremely rare that a weather-system stays in place for longer periods of time. It usually comes and goes in a matter of hours. And our weather is most of the time very localized; its not rare that the city is swamped, yet barely 16 miles away, we go to the beach in excellent weather, awaiting for the system to change direction.
I don't watch news/TV, so while I'm aware that the situation in Texas is really bad, and more to come, I do not know the extend of the situation. Just keep praying that everyone and everything can cope somehow, and that there are enough resources to help the afflicted in the aftermath.

Four storms from now, the scheduled name on the 2017 list of names is Lee.
Thinking all the little snowflakes need to line up on the coast and protest as it comes ashore.

Hurricane Harvey damaged more than 204,000 homes and apartment buildings in Harris County, almost three-quarters of them outside the federally regulated 100-year flood plain, leaving tens of thousands of homeowners uninsured and unprepared.
The new details come from the most extensive disclosure of flood data yet released by city and county officials. The numbers follow a pattern: More than 55 percent of the homes damaged during the Tax Day storm in 2016 sat outside the 500-year flood plain, as did more than one-third of those during the Memorial Day floods in 2015.
