It appears that the models started backing down on this thing moving into southwest Louisiana next week. Is that the case?
I'm not sure where/how this keeps getting repeated, but it is simply not the case. The global models have suggested this will be a major issue for SWLA, at a minimum. The GFS is tons of rain, the Euro is rain and perhaps wind damage.

You're talking about a 958mb storm and evacuations. Houston will not experience that pressure, nor a Category 4 wind speed. No reason to evacuate millions over something like this.
This isn't about the winds. This is about the rainfall.

Okay so what about the ~2ft of water?
OT Houston folks says it floods down there pretty easily.

Houston is not going to evacuate millions of people over rainfall and tropical storm force winds.

You're an ignorant fool
Speaking in certainties during an event like this is mindlessly ignorant

FWIW, this is the 7-day accumulated rainfall for the 6z GFS:
Nearly 11 inches north of Lake Charles, and 9 inches in Kenner.

It floods in some of the burbs, the interstates, but mostly, as usual everywhere, the poor folk.

Houston ain't got no Cajun navy baw.

And that it drains well. Someone said the burbs are probably fine. Road floods, but nothing in the houses.
Looks like a few models has this shite heading to us later

I know we have wishcasters/doomcasters and amateur meteorologists coming out of the woodwork in these threads, but there's not a single expert calling for any conditions which would require the evacuation of a city of millions of people. The only people shocked are... Well, people like the derps in here. And I get that, but that's why people like you don't make those judgment calls.
They evacuate to avoid mass injury and/or loss of life in an area.
I'll say it again, tropical storm force winds and rainfall, in an area not subject to storm surge, will not prompt evacuations.

Haven't posted yet but here it is. Resident of Galveston, TX and made the decision to leave when models started bringing Harvey back to the coast. Made it from Galveston to Dallas yesterday in 4.5 hours. With voluntary evacuations of surrounding areas north, feel confident in my decision.
Thank you to everyone in this thread. I was able to stay two days ahead of the storm because of your hard work. My wife and I are very grateful.
Hopefully things are okay.

I can live with those rain totals... hopefully it holds true.

Maybe all of Texas should evacuate. We wouldn't want to rely upon experts (who disagree with your absurd evacuation demand).

Anyone know the historical rainfall totals in Houston?
Posted on 8/25/17 at 7:42 am to tLSU
I'm not saying evacuate, I was just clarifying that rainfall is the biggest threat.

Damn lord, when did you get married? Congrats

Can anyone in Houston give me some intel?
I have some family members headed to the medical center area on Monday. They are staying near the hospitals but right on Brays Bayou. How does that area handle rain?
