It's really sad when people lose their lives because they underestimate Mother Nature.

Nature isn't cruel ........ nature is indifferent.

Dayum. I had an EMT friend I used to work with at EMSA who moved to Houston, update her Facebook a bit ago saying instead of coming in Saturday night, just come in tonight and expect to be on til at least Monday. Long time to be in an ambulance.

I hope he has a plan for when he hits the other side of the eye and the wind comes in from a different direction.

for those that haven't been keeping track, the predicted track has harvey staying over san antonio for a day and a half now

edit - in a prior post, someone had posted about the rainfall, and I made a comparison of being in a moderate to heavy thunderstorm for 40 hours.

for those in the affected area, it's now 4 days.....

Well, my parents decided to ride out the storm at the ranch in Goliad.  So far, what is left of the eye is supposed to pass right over them.  They say winds are picking up now.
They are high on a hill in a house with 2X6 construction.  Projected winds are not to exceed 90mph.  They also have a welder (to use as a generator) and another smaller one if needed.  
Main well is on an electric pump and secondary (much deeper water table) is on solar, but the water is full of sulfur.  Padre has charged three car batteries with pig tail for charging phones etc.

My mother in law lives in Corpus and she is fine, but without power.

I'll post updates from them when I can.

Sounded like the other guy with him didn't want to since they are worried about the shopping center roof coming off and the building collapsing. Then he suggested making a run for it over a bridge. Sounds like he is in a pickle.

Mild. I'm in the Cypress area, closer to the storm by a sneeze and my major adventure was changing a light bulb.  So far.

You can hit http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/26318/web and listen to the HCSO feed.  Nothing unusual going on for a major metro area.

Fox News guy said the heavy rain could reach quite a bit further north.  He was saying San Antonio and Austin could see about 10 inches of rainfall because the storm is supposed to stall over the TX coast and remain there until Tuesday in a weekend state.  If this happens some areas could see 50+ inches.

Local weather here in Austin just guessed 8 - 9 inches and some TS force winds. That's better than the 18+ inches they were saying yesterday.

Not really. By hurricane standards it's a pretty small event thus far.  Look at what Rita did. It didn't get the publicity of Ike or Katrina, but damn now THAT was a storm.  A few weeks after I drove from Houston to Baton Rouge and saw 100 miles of downed trees.
View Quote
Dead on.  This storm is tiny compared to Ike, Rita and Katrina.  Hurricane force winds only extend 40 miles from the center.  Hurricane force means 75 mph or greater.  The portion of the storm that has actual cat 4 winds is much smaller.
