Telling people if you ONLY have water in your home don't call 911. They are only rescuing those that are life threatening.
That's nuts

From NWS Houston:
This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY from the Bay City area to Wharton to
Waller across the Houston Metro area to Stafford to Friendswood to
League City and Santa Fe. Travel across the area is severely hampered
if not impossible. Over 1000 high water rescues have been performed
and in some places emergency crews cannot reach the worst hit areas.
5 fatalities have been reported. Some people are using attics and
the second floor to escape the rising flood waters.

WANT TO STRESS Persons should NOT go into their attics, but instead onto the roof, & if calling 911 stay on the line until it is answered!!

Is this thing going to turn towards Louisiana?
If so, any ideas if would strengthen and do what it's doing to Houston here?

...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR LIFE-THREATENING CATASTROPHIC FLOODING...
.DISCUSSION...
Epic and catastrophic flooding has occurred in and around the
Houston and Galveston areas and surrounding communities overnight,
and very heavy rains continue falling across these areas early
this morning. Rainfall totals between Saturday evening and early
this morning have totaled 15 to 30 inches. Tropical Storm Harvey
is approximately 50 miles east southeast of San Antonio and has
remained nearly stationary all night long. Showers and thunderstorms
along Harvey's feeder bands have spread 4 to 6 inch per hour producing
rainfall rates resulting in this historic event. Activity continues
spreading across already devastated areas with hourly rainfall
rates averaging around 4 to 5 inches in the Matagorda-Brazoria
County storms and around 6 to 7 inches in the Galveston-Harris
County area storms. We might get a break from the rain some time
later today, but additional storm development is likely overnight.
It is possible that these new storms could become concentrated a
little further westward than this morning's activity. However,
with Harvey expected to remain in the same general area between
its current location and the coast over the next several days,
additional life-threatening rainfall totals of 15 to 25 inches
with isolated higher amounts are possible across the Flash Flood
Watch area over the next several days, and results could be
devastating if any of these rains fall where catastrophic flooding
has already occurred. 42

Props to those rescue crews for their continued efforts. That is no easy feat. I'm praying for those lost but 1,000 + lives saved in this amount of time is something.

Is cell service still reliable in the Houston area?

Is the weather channel being dramatic or could some areas really receive 50-60" of rain when this is all over?

15-30" has already fallen with another 15-25" in the forecast.
Posted on 8/27/17 at 6:31 am to GetCocky11
50" is certainly in play. 60 may be a stretch.
Posted on 8/27/17 at 6:33 am to rds dc
Are most models in agreement that Thursday is moving day for ole Harv?

I've received over 15" of rain since about midnight. Hasn't let up one bit yet. So yes, I think 50-60 may be low for several areas.

Stay safe

Why do people like you think the weather channel makes shite up? Sure they are wrong but they are trying to help. Go suck trumps dick while we deal with actual shite.
