I can remember the time I attended a party in the early evening with partly cloudy skies and drove 40 miles into a tropical storm (a lot smaller than Harvey) that dropped over 30" of rain in 24 hours. One of my classmates drowned along with several of her relatives in that storm. Slow or non-moving tropical storms are extremely dangerous.#YESSIR! said:
So much sensationalism here. I'm at Kirby ice house and it's an overcast with light refreshing showers.

Watching Channel 2 Frank Billingsley, the Astros and the app called 'Storm'.
The Woodlands is intermittent rain, some thunder, minimal wind. It just feels like it wants to rain hard.

Into the yard here in Bellaire. Our house is essentially at grade so pucker factor started.

I think we are almost out of this band in Cypress/Tomball
Fingers crossed. May have dodged a bullet again. Sounds like ITL may not.
My folks were struggling in Katy to keep their French drains flowing. Up to their knees but kept water out of the house. Hopefully get a break
It's been quiet as an elementary school in July here all day. But the last hour and a half all hell has broken loose.
It was so nice all day. Now it's just like the flood gates and the heavens opened up..
Street and sidewalk under water in energy corridor
Roads starting to fill up around the med center, straight pissing rain now.

I'm on an acre and a half, and I've got a long retention ditch at the front of my properly and it's merged with my across the street neighbor. I'm built up on a ridge, but I think we'll be surrounded by a moat completely tomorrow.

That was always what was expected
We just lucked out and the band this morning hit east.
Which is why I was shaking my head at all the morons checking in as safe
This band needs to clear out ASAP. This rainfall/hour rate is going to overwhelm drainage systems.
indeed. It's a wall of water over here by ikea
nah since it didn't rain all day the forecast is a bust

Still alive at KIH. Just ordered some pizza. Everyone stay safe.
The female reporter that just broke into the Texans game sounded legitimately upset.
How is Cottage Grove looking?
Westbury just got kicked in the dick
Over an inch in the last 15 minutes in the spring branch area
Elisa Rivas - she definitely sounded shook up in that report.
3.5" in just over an hour in Bellaire
Our DTV is freezing. Is 13 really still showing the Texans?

Can you expound on that? What was the report??
Can clay let us know when it's ok to start worrying about flooding?
Starting to lighten up a little in spring branch. About to go move some water into ditches around house
People steal them for the copper inside
Hey Clay, Houston wasn't hit by a tornado in every square mile, nor has it become Atlantis. This was a fail forecast right?
Water to my shins in my backyard, but front is fine
