So those numbers are rain totals in inches? 14.8 at the top of Harris County?

Pump water out of the city at a rate of more than 45,000 cubic feet (1,300 m3) per second.The capacity is also frequently described as 1 inch (2.5 cm) in the first hour of rainfall followed by 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) per hour afterward.
True that. City had virtually ever pump that could be rented within a 800 mile radius of New Orleans pumping 24 hours a day in September of 2005 and it took about a month to drain the city then.

Rummel, slack, rds, and others: tell me again when it's likely we should have a better idea of if this thing comes through SWLA?? Just wondering how much time we have to put any plan into place if it's called for. Do I remember reading that Saturday night we should have a better/pretty good idea?

Yes, but they're highly suspect due to the difficulty with predicting specific locations. Somewhere between Houston - Victoria - Corpus is going to experience significant rainfall totals over the next few days.

12z Euro Ensembles are right on track with operational run. Cat 2 hurricane into SWLA is the consensus.

Holly Beach was destroyed by Rita then three years later by Ike after we rebuilt. If this one wipes Holly Beach out I might move to Lake Charles.. or just put a gun in my mouth.

We should have a good idea on saturday/saturday night what the trend looks like, you need to watc hthat ridge over central texas.
if it stays strong it'll push Harvey back out.

Peacing out of Houston. Work is likely going to send me to Ruston to standby for support.

10% were you there for the others? I work in New Iberia a day or two per week .. was going to go Monday but I guess I'll go tomorrow and finish month end reports. I'm consultant -- don't have to be there for emergencies thank God.

SWLA is going to get something over the next week. How strong it will be is still to be determined. That may not be clear until it starts backing out of Texas - another 48 hours from now.

I would think that several 30" pumps that can handle 45,000 GPM could help NOLA move a lot of water.
