A lot of the models are predicting a similar pattern as TS Allison with the landfall, hover and head back out over Houston.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
A lot of the models are predicting a similar pattern as TS Allison with the landfall, hover and head back out over Houston. During Allison I had around 32 inches of rain at my house in 12 hours. 
It stopped raining right at dawn. The water was about 1/8 inch from actually entering my home. When looking outside at other homes all you could see was a river of moving dirty water. It took another 12 hours to recede enough to finally be able to get out of the neighborhood. My g/f lives three miles away and got four feet of water in her house. She had to actually get into her hot ass attic just to get out of the water. Cost her over 30k for the repairs. My home is completely out of the flood plain. But 32 inches of hard rain over 12 hours overwhelms everything. I have purchased flood insurance every year since that event. |

Careful what you wish for. 24" + of rain is no joke in the Houston area and what storm surge you are supposed to get might get trapped inland for a while.
From what I understand Harvey or what is left of it is supposed to set and spin around Houston and dump huge amounts of rain in the area. |

Houston has poor drainage as it is about 2' above sea level from one end to another. Nice, hardworking people. But a 3" rain and underpasses flood. |

So if a good sized hurricane hits Houston, will that push all of the Katrina trash back to LA and make Houston great again?

Read the Amperage rating on the fridge and subtract from 13.5 (the 2000 will output 14 amps continuous) then get a window shaker at that amperage.

What day is it expected to get sporty in Houston? From Storm2K forums: I'm in south Harris County (Clear Lake/Webster) Got up bright and early to get supplies. Local stores are well stocked right now, however this afternoon might be a different story. Go early!
We went through Rita and Ike in Jefferson County and this potential storm has us more worried because there's so much unknown. Models are everywhere and keep changing along with strength predictions. |

Those folks get worked up if they see one cloud over water in the summer near Zuluzulu and automatically assume it's a Cat 5 twisterquake headed right for NOLA and folks are getting on the rooftops to shoot at the coasties Cable tv and internet is great, but it sure does fuel panic and speculation. I remember in the 80's everyone went about their business when hurricanes came. This was 100's of miles inland. Now it's like locusts hit the grocery stores |
