I'm following a fly fishing couple on IG who are holding it down at their place on Goose Island.

Check the surge forecast graphics from the NHC. The new map should be posted with the 4PM update.

Statement from Corpus Christ NWS:

quote:

Harvey is now a Category 1 hurricane across the west central Gulf
of Mexico. Harvey is expected to continue to strengthen as it moves
toward the Texas coast this afternoon through Friday. Harvey is
expected to reach Category 3 status prior to landfall. Tropical storm
force winds could approach coastal areas in the Coastal Bend as early
as early Friday morning.

Heavy rainfall is expected through much of the area with rainfall
totals of 15 to 20 inches east of Interstate 37 with isolated amounts
around 30 inches possible. Lesser amounts are expected further west
and southwest. These numbers and locations are subject to change
depending on the exact location of landfall along the Texas coast.
Flash flooding is possible with these high rainfall totals. The
heaviest rains are expected to occur Thursday night through Saturday
night and possibly into early next week.

Peak Storm surge inundation is generally expected to be 6 to 10 feet
above ground level from the north entrance of the Padre Island
National Seashore northward to Port O Connor. South of the North Padre
Island National Seashore is generally expected to be 5 to 7 feet above
ground level. Impacts would be felt along the barrier islands and into
the inland bays and waterways. Isolated locations could see slightly
higher inundation.

this was allison in case anyone's forgotten
I nearly died in Allison. It had left Houston headed north, then it turned around and backtracked, coming back towards Houston from the north. I was on I-45 headed north behind the storm and it came back. A a car on the other side of the highway hit a huge puddle, spun out of control and came across the highway right in front of me (headed the other direction at a speed of about 65) by less than a half a second and went into the ditch to my right as I passed by. I stopped the car, got out and threw up on the side of the highway in the blowing rain, thanking God I had slowed down just slightly.

I'd be gathering animals, loved ones, and important documents, photographing/filming everything I owned for insurance purposes, and visiting the hill country for a few days. Just in case.

A guy I know in Port Aransas, TX is packing up. He posted these pics a few hours ago.

Eta: It's disheartening knowing what's about to happen.
