LOL there's a small difference between raising the price .30-.40 to offset the loss of a week or more of income and charging $15/gallon or $99/case of water. There is nothing anyone can do about me raising prices .30 at any time, there are no laws at all in place for anything like that. They can go after those charging $15/gallon but even then, they wont win anything, there's various prices all over houston, go look at the mobil station on the corner of san felipe and 610 its almost 70-80 cents higher than any other store in houston at all times and people still voluntarily go there. You rantards need to learn a thing or two about economics before discussing anything. When your money is on the line then you can tell businesses how to price items, for now youre relegated to doing what you do best, being armchair quarterbacks. I read these threads to get some info, but when you guys give me the bat signal to come in and put your in your place, I dont mind making an appearance and giving an econ 101 lesson.


I hope the hotel you are staying in knocks on your door tomorrow and says your rate is now $10,000 a night if you want to stay

Can we have our update thread back? Too many people making this thread about themselves instead of the event.

There was just a call about a guy stuck in his house with his mother who died this morning and he cant get the body out.



Yea I heard that one. There's been a lot of disturbing calls. One is for a mother with 5 children in their attic with the water rising.

No problem. Been here since Saturday. You have any word on the area near the bridge to kingwood on w. Lake Houston?





I'm sorry, I wish I did.
I'm in LA, was looking for info on that area because I have a good friend who lives on leafy shores that hasn't checked in since sat night. If I hear back anytime soon I'll update you if he knows anything, they're right off w. Lake Houston.

The center is now back over water in Matagorda Bay. The hope is that the prolonged cloud shield and thunderstorms over the northwestern gulf has cooled the water enough to slow down redevelopment. Bay temperatures look to be in the 25C range, which is a bit cool. Further out to sea (around 42019) is over to 27C; warm enough for development.

further north near Galveston at 42035 the water temps are still over 29C. If it waits that long before getting back inland we should see some significant restrengthening.

I expect most forecasts to keep it as a weak tropical storm to account for the variance in over-water track, but the potential is there for it to become a hurricane again in the worst case scenarios.

MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0749
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
621 AM EDT MON AUG 28 2017

AREAS AFFECTED...SERN TX INTO SWRN/S-CNTRL LA

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE

VALID 281019Z - 281615Z

SUMMARY...AN ONGOING HEAVY RAINFALL AXIS OVER THE SOUTHERN
TEXAS/LOUISIANA BORDER IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST WITH 4-9
MORE INCHES OF RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH 17Z INTO SOUTHWESTERN
LOUISIANA. RENEWED DEVELOPMENT BACK WEST OF GALVESTON BAY IS
POSSIBLE STARTING 15-18Z. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL ONLY EXACERBATE
ONGOING CATASTROPHIC FLASH FLOODING.

DISCUSSION...TROPICAL STORM HARVEY WAS LOCATED OVER MATAGORDA BAY
AT 09Z WITH A SLOW SOUTHEASTWARD MOVEMENT OBSERVED SINCE THEN VIA
KCRP RADAR IMAGERY. THE STORM HAS BEEN STEADILY MOVING TOWARD THE
SOUTHEAST NEAR 3 KT SINCE 00Z AND THE 09Z NHC ADVISORY PLACES
HARVEY BACK OUT OVER THE GULF THROUGH 18Z. EXPERIMENTAL GOES 16
LOW LEVEL WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DRIER
AIR PUSHING EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS INTO THE WESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO AND INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWED A STRONG BAND OF CONVECTION
EXTENDING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AT THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS PUSH OF
DRIER AIR WITHIN AN AXIS OF GREATER LOW LEVEL THETA-E CO-LOCATED
WITH HIGHER MLCAPE SEEN IN THE LATEST RAP ANALYSIS. THIS BAND OF
HEAVIER RAIN HAS BEEN MOVING TOWARD THE EAST AT 5-6 KT OVER THE
PAST 4 HOURS BUT IS FORECAST BY SOME OF THE BETTER PERFORMING
HI-RES MODELS TO ACCELERATE TOWARD THE EAST AT ABOUT 15 KT TOWARD
17Z. HOWEVER...THIS MAY BE TOO FAST GIVEN CURRENT TRENDS...AND THE
HEAVY RAINFALL AXIS MAY BEGIN TO BREAK APART IF IT MOVES TOO FAR
AWAY FROM THE AXIS OF BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE.

THE NORTHWARD EXTENT OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL RATES AS OF
10Z...RADAR ESTIMATED 2-3 IN/HR OVER JEFFERSON COUNTY IN FAR SERN
TX...HAS BEEN LIMITED BY MLCAPE DROPPING OFF RAPIDLY NORTH OF
COASTAL LOCATIONS. FORECASTS OF MLCAPE THROUGH 17Z KEEP THE
500-1000+ VALUES WITHIN ABOUT 50 MILES OF THE SOUTHERN LOUISIANA
COAST WITH MUCH WEAKER VALUES TO THE NORTH. ADDITIONAL 6 HOUR
RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH 17Z ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 4-9 INCHES
FROM FAR SERN TEXAS INTO SWRN LOUISIANA.

FARTHER TO THE WEST...AS THE CENTER OF HARVEY MOVES BACK OUT OVER
THE GULF OF MEXICO...RENEWED CONVECTION WITH RAINFALL RATES OF 1-3
IN/HR MAY DEVELOP JUST EAST OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER WITH IMPACTS
TO LOCATIONS WEST OF GALVESTON BAY TO NEAR ROUTE 71...INCLUDING
THE HOUSTON METRO. THE TIME FRAME FOR THIS AREA OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
APPEARS TO BE IN THE 15-18Z TIME FRAME.

As indicated yesterday afternoon reddit mts predicted correctly that this system is going to make a dramatic shift to the east those in laffy and even in western side of EBR needs to be very alert.
