she should just leave it alone then. keep the family safe above water, but don't call the emergency numbers unless it is becoming life threatening.

Some folks definitely should have been evacuated.
To where and how? You just don't understand the big picture.
If they left themselves days ago great, otherwise staying in place is best for the city. The amount of deaths on highways from rising water and people driving the wrong way would be much worse than staying in a house with a little water. People can walk to neighbors. That isn't an option on the roads.
Emergency resources are already well beyond capacity. Putting people on the roads and causing panic is sheer stupidity. Let it go and stop bringing it up.

Have we seen the worst of it today or not yet?
Glad to hear it!
If you venture near Rosalyn and Du Barry, pics appreciated! Our house is over there (we're out of state on a temporary assignment).

Thanks. Hoping for just a few hours of no rain today. Not sure if it'll recede much in that time, but if we have another four hours in the city like we did the last four hours, then I'm for sure gonna take on water.

"Dear All,
I just got off the phone with a buddy (who I have not spoken to in some time) who left me a voicemail on my cell instructing me to call him back. His father is Steve Radack, who is the Harris County Commissioner for Precinct 3. He said that Army Corps. of Engineers and every flood control district within Houston had an emergency board meeting this morning. Mr. Radack was briefed on their findings and has relayed the following information to my friend, who just told me the following:
Harvey is supposed to be much worse than expected, and worse than Allison. At this moment, they are projecting 10,000 homes under water and approximately 100,000 flooded homes around the Houston area. Colorado County is projected to get 50+ inches of rain, with surrounding counties taking on over 30+ inches. The storm is expected to hit the "heart of Houston" and everything South of Katy is expected to be devastated, including Galveston. The storm is projected to last for 5 days, moving very slowly, and most of Houston is expected to go 3 days without electricity. Put differently, according to the findings of this emergency meeting, the storm is supposed to be "catastrophic." There remains a possibility that it becomes a hurricane by the time it makes landfall.
The projections that are out on the local stations right now are allegedly 1/3 of the reality of the situation in an effort to curb widespread panic. He also told me that FEMA and the National Guard are already in NOLA in case there is a repeat of 2005, or something similar.
Harvey is supposed to arrive in Houston sometime late afternoon/evening on Friday. If this information looks to remain accurate over the next 36 hours, you might want to consider making arrangements to work from home on Friday.
I will let you know if I am made aware of any other relevant inside information. Be safe.
Best Regards,"
Ahem...

Seriously? When is the last time ANYWHERE in TX got 50+ inches of rain.
Bout to pass that up; perhaps
I'm referring to days ago, as in Thursday. And nursing homes for example, not a mass exodus from the city. Shelters are set up all over Bell County. Likely empty due to stubbornness. This storm has played out just as it was predicted.
I'm starting to worry a bit about my flight home on Saturday if this ******* goes back out to sea for a day or two then comes back inland
Cedar creek is flooded. Just walked down to see it. Nothing draining.

The reporter tried so hard to explain is away too. I bet the producer is kicking themselves for talking to her.jayelbee said:

Random question, people standing around in water... if a powerline fell, how far can it transmit through water...
They just showed it on Fox saying they were rescued..Very Tolerant Nice Guy said:gigemJTH12 said:
