This. We now have meteorologists basically saying that this wont be a big deal for most of Houston unless you live near the coast. Its a totally different situation than Harvey.Quincey P. Morris said:
People that were saying that about Harvey did so Friday night and weren't paying attention to the actual forecast to know that Friday night was never supposed to be a big deal.

I think just like Harvey, everyone is saying "this is a nothing burger" then it hit...... This won't be anything like Harvey, but I bet it will be more than the "nothing" some are saying here.....
Hope I am wrong.....

As he mentioned, it is indeed a realistic portrayal of the rain our area could get over the next week. Twenty-plus inches of precipitation in such a short period of time is daunting, especially when you consider Houston averages around 50 inches a year.

IIRC there were people all over saying that it was a weak storm blah blah. The unwashed masses certainly thought they dodged a bullet whereas those paying attention knew what the real issue was going to be.
yikes. This guy REALLY wants a hurricane.Seabreeze said:

Yeah, that's no tropical storm, that's a hurricane.
Nicholas is decidedly averse to land. This doesn’t want to make landfall. This might be good news for Houston and NW. It likely means heavy rain persists south for a good long while though. Also concerned about Beaumont/Lake Charles. pic.twitter.com/5tvPXvpbtq

Some of y'all sound disappointed that Houston might be spared the worst of it.

Serious question, what's so hilarious about that.

Those are gusts not sustained. It's not a hurricane.
