ABC's lunch time news yesterday was the same... "This is outrageous that Houston was left for this money!" The news desk anchor's head was about to explode.

Quote:
Hidalgo and Harris County Flood Control District Executive Director Russ Poppe said two criteria that discriminate against populous areas appear to have doomed their applications. The first considered a project's cost per person helped; the second tallied the share of the applicant's total residents who could benefit from the project.
That meant the city and county's status as the most populous in Texas worked against them when it came time to score the applications. For example*, Poppe said, on one project Harris County scored less than three points out of a possible 20 in those categories, which made up one-fifth of the total score.
"So right there, you're somewhere between 18-19 points at a disadvantage on two metrics that one could reasonably argue have no bearing whatsoever on the value or the benefits of the project," Poppe said.

Weather like this always makes me laugh at the fact they used to try having a weekend concert festival in the middle of the largest detention pond inside the loop this time every year.

The first few years it went on the area was going through a drought pattern so I can see the organizers thinking it was minimal risk as I worked with many young transplants that thought houston was just supposed to be dry from march through october.Marvin_Zindler said:

Starting the week off strong with their Monday prediction...Teddy Perkins said:

The bottom line is that yes, we realize no one wants to see a tropical blob in the Gulf of Mexico. However, this one likely carries a minimal threat, and we expect the region to really begin to dry out on Sunday. We'll have more in the morning.

Monday
The overall setup remains the same, with moisture streaming in from the Gulf of Mexico today. However, areas east of Interstate 45 are increasingly unlikely to see more than light rain today and for the rest of the week.
However, areas along and west of Interstate 45including the hard hit Matagorda Bay regionmay continue to see at least moderate showers today. Accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are possible in these regions. Skies will otherwise be cloudy, with high temperatures getting up to around 80 degrees. Rain chances should slacken considerably this evening.

And the side of town has seen light rain all day.
I like the Space City guys, but they are just as bad at forecasting the weather as the rest of them.

It's been pouring here since about 11. Probably 3" of rain.
At least I'm not going to have to run the sprinklers for a while.

More rain is possible on Tuesday, but it should be less intense, and concentrated more to the south and west of Houston. How confident are we in that forecast? Not particularly given how badly today's heavy rains were forecast.

I'll never forget FPSF 2014(?) when about 10,000 people ran from the rain and packed into The Refinery. It took about two hours to get one beer I never paid for. That and all of the parking garage parties while the rain poured down.
Ah, to be young and wasting money on a stupid festival in a drainage ditch.
