Not what I received in the last hour from company met but who knows
My company (a utility) just stood down our emergency response teams due to the latest forecast. We don't serve Harris county but have a lot of east Texas and Montgomery county.
He also called for 50 inches of rain so consider the source...Very Tolerant Nice Guy said:

Here's the track he just showed

That's a neat trick when I can clearly see on radar that it is and has been moving E / SE for a while.

pardon my ignorance but what does that mean?
I think what Frank means is that we're still getting pounded tonight but it's headed more towards Waco on Tuesday, which would be directionally better

Also seems at odds with SCW
We were all on standby to assist with power restoration but, due to whatever info they recently received, people who don't normally work in that sort of role are no longer on call to assist with power restoration.
thanks
the latest SCW update says tonight is a roll of the dice
impossible to really predict the band locations and when and for how long

Frank can speak for himself.
Latest Advisory not good for Houston:
Current rainbands are expected to slowly drift and bring the rains farther east into the Houston area. Model says rainbands will intensify overnight and produce heavy rainfall and flooding in the Houston area tonight and into tomorrow morning.

More and more of the models are showing the storm drifting west. That is the 25% chance that Berger's been referencing for the last two days and the best case scenario for Houston.
Would be huge since it would keep total rain under 10 inches and prevent flooding. Looking more and more like it's going to play out that way.

My understanding is the primary concern for electric utilities is/was wind. From what I'm told, electric infrastructure is fairly resilient against tropical storm force winds and flooding.
sorry
just trying to make sense of it all

The storm is moving E / SE right now. It would have to stop and do a 180 degree turn to go the way the models say. At this time, just watch the radar.

It is. It's not very resilient against limbs, trees, roofs, etc.LostInLA07 said:

KVUE in Austin was showing that it would drift S/SE and then move due north through the B/CS area. Again, it's all a crapshoot.Cromagnum said:Gator03 said:

I can look at that radar and tell you we're not going to get hit, and if we do it won't be by much. This storm is mostly gone from the Houston area.cone said:

I hate that this projection's line
is just an average of the models, it seems
too much false hope

Somebody has to be right, no?
Which models?
bull****
Looking at radar, we could have a serious band heading for the whole Houston area. Hopefully it will sweep through and not start training.

Bro I'm having a ****ing picnic at memorial park . Use your senses bro
Clavell and Berger vs Crouch
Just drove by it (I'm at Longenbaugh and Queenston). The tornado initially touched down right before the Barker-Longenbaugh intersection (according to Valero cashier lady) then went northwest through the Walgreens and the front of that neighborhood (Lone Oak) that backs up to Barker and then came back up probably right around the Berry Center. Most of the homes on that front street had no fence and holes in their roof.
